8 tablespoons (1 stick) Cabot Salted Butter
1 pound Spanish onions, cut into fine julienne

Directions

MELT butter over medium heat in large thick-bottomed non-reactive pot. Add onions, leeks, shallots and garlic and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 15 minutes.

ADD beef broth, beer and bay leaf, bring to simmer and let cook for 20 minutes.

REMOVE from heat and let stand for about 10 minutes to cool slightly.
