Caramelize the onions
Melt the butter and oil in a Dutch oven or large saute pan set over medium heat. Add the onions and season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Stirring frequently, cook the onions until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized, about 20 minutes.
