   In a small dry skillet, toast walnuts over low heat 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Remove and set aside.

   In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir 6-8 minutes or until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 20-22 minutes or until onions are deep golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, brown sugar, salt and pepper; cook 1 minute longer. Transfer to a small bowl.
