The Method
Select the SAUTE function, add the oil and butter and allow to melt. Add the garlic and sugar and stir regularly for ~3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the onions and continue to stir to a further ~5 minutes so the onions begin to caramelise. They should be brown but not burned.
Add the flour and stir to combine, then add the stock and cancel the SAUTE function.
Put the lid on and select the CHUNKY function.
When the program has finished, open the lid and season to taste before serving.
