During this time proceed to peel the onions. Place them on a flat dish with a bit of butter, 1 tablespoon sugar, salt and pepper. Cover with water and cook until the onions start caramelizing.

After approximately 1 hour, remove the meat from the dish, remove any fat and blend the sauce. Pour it into another dish. Check the seasoning and then add the meat and the mushrooms along with the onions and keep hot (oven turned on at 80°C).
