Prepare the pastry by adding 250 g of plain flour into a Magic Mix Bowl.

Add 125 g of cubed unsalted butter and a pinch of sea salt to the bowl.

Slice 2 red onions and heat a large pan with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium to low heat.

7

Add the sliced onions and a couple of pinches of sea salt to the pan, cooking slowly for 15-20 minutes.

If the onions start to dry out, add a little water to the pan.

9

After 15-20 minutes, add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar to the onions.

10

Continue cooking on low heat for another 10 minutes until caramelized.
