• Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil and the butter together, followed by the sliced onions. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the onions wilt and start to brown. At that point add the next three ingredients (sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper).

Taste and adjust the seasoning. Remove the onions to a separate bowl.

At that point, add a little olive oil and the thyme leaves and cook for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Once the mushrooms start lightly brown, add the sliced potatoes and the fennel seeds. Season everything with some salt and pepper and cook for a few more minutes, until the potatoes soften a little. Set the mixture aside to cool.
