Skillet Gulf Coast French Onion

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: yellow onion, garlic, vegetable stock and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the scallions and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the french onion, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the carrots along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the crushed tomatoes and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a handful of herbs right before serving.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
