Preparation Cut the onions up finely and cover them with plenty of cold water. Let them steep for about 8 hours.

Beat the lard and sauté it with the oil. When it is properly browned, add the drained onions, salt, pepper, the basil leaves and let it braise at a medium heat.

When at the bottom it starts to dry up too much, sieve the tomatoes and add them to the pot turning the heat down to a minimum and let it cook for at least an hour.

Add salt as required and the eggs beaten with the Parmesan cheese and remove from the fire straight away, stirring energetically.
