Critical Success Points

  • Caramelize the onion until deep golden.
  • Sauté each vegetable separately to remove excess moisture.
  • Add garlic only after other vegetables are browned and cook just until fragrant.
  • Simmer low and slow for at least 45 minutes for flavor development.

Safety Warnings

  • Olive oil can cause burns if overheated – watch for shimmering, not smoking.
  • Mandolin blades are extremely sharp – always use the hand guard.
  • Hot oven and skillet handles – use oven mitts.
