How to cook Frigione

Step 1

Peel the onion, cut it thinly, sprinkle with sugar and salt and leave to marinate for two to four hours. Cover the container in which the onions will be marinated.

Step 2

After the time has passed, transfer the onion (with the juice it will give) to a large saucepan and add the lard. Simmer everything over low heat, stirring occasionally until the onion becomes soft (attention! the onion should not brown). If the onion starts to burn, you can add a little water.

Step 3

Add peeled chopped tomatoes and continue to simmer over low heat for 2 hours, stirring frequently.
