Saute onions in oil in a large pot for 2 minutes. Add garlic and saute briefly. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer until the mixture is a gravy consistency (approx. 2-3 hours). If cooked in the Duromatic, pressure on first ring for 15 minutes and cut the water by 1-1/2 cups.
