  • Step 2

    Heat a 3-quart saucepan over low heat, and melt the butter. When melted, add the onions, garlic, and sugar and season with sea salt. Stir well, cover and cook until softened and starting to caramelize, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the red wine, vinegar, and lemon zest. Set aside.
