- Cover the pan and gook gently for about 10 minutes without colouring until the onions are completely soft.
- Remove lid, increase heat and stand over onions stirring frequently until the onions are a dark colour and the liquid has all but gone.
- Roll out the dough or pastry to fit a flat baking sheet remembering to shape a small edge around the perimeter. If using puff pastry prick well all over so that it bakes flat.
