Canola oil is more budget-friendly.

Sweat down 6 vidalia onions with salt and black pepper in a large skillet.

Add 2 bay leaves and chicken stock, then a little brown sugar, and cook uncovered for 10-15 minutes.

Add finely chopped garlic and cook until the chicken stock reduces and the onions caramelize, about 15 minutes.

Add juice of 3 lemons to deglaze the pan and break down the onions further.

Add dried thyme, rosemary, and sage, and cook for about 5 minutes.

Stir in a pinch or two of caraway seeds and mix for a minute or two.

Deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup of bourbon, cooking off the alcohol and incorporating the flavors.
