  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Coat the bottom of a large pot with the oil and place it over medium heat.
  • When the oil is hot, add the onion and cook it for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent.
  • Add the garlic and continue to cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the wine and bring it to a simmer. Lower the heat and allow the wine to simmer for about 5 minutes, until reduced by about half.
