Ingredients
  

4 large onions, thinly sliced

1 cup of non-alcoholic beer (or a flavorful broth for a non-alcoholic option)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon dried thyme

8 ounces pork belly or pancetta, cut into small cubes

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and hot.

    Add the sliced onions to the skillet. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to caramelize and soften.

      Sprinkle the sugar, salt, pepper, and thyme over the onions, and continue stirring for another 10 minutes until they are a rich golden brown.

        Pour the non-alcoholic beer into the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Reduce the heat to low and let the onions simmer in the beer for about 20 minutes until the liquid has thickened slightly.

          While the onions are simmering, in a separate skillet, cook the pork belly or pancetta over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.

            Once the onions are done, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the beer-infused onions topped with the crispy salted pork.

              Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for an added touch of color.
