Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 45-minutes or until the mixture reduces by ⅓ its original volume and vegetables are tender. In a large stockpot, add olive oil and onions. Cook until onions become translucent and then add whole garlic cloves. Continue cooking over medium heat until garlic becomes fragrant. Be sure the garlic does not burn. Once the garlic is fragrant, remove the garlic and enjoy them as a snack, rub over bread, or add to another dish - the caramelized garlic are delicious.
