Ingredients
- 2 large onions cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil

- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1 small garlic clove peeled
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste

Instructions
- Cook onions with oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool completely.

- Fill a third saucepan two-thirds full with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add green beans and fresh peas, if using, and cook until barely tender, about 3 minutes; if using frozen peas, add during the last minute. Drain vegetables and rinse under cold water until cool.

Add onions (including any oil and juices from cooking), 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and pulse just until onions are chopped. Season to taste with more salt and pepper if you like. Serve at room temperature, with matzo crackers.
