3.      Saute the onions and tomato until they caramelized a bit, but not too brown
4.      Pour in the mushroom and let it be coated with the oil
5.      Drop the celery and garlic, mixed in all the ingredients, but keep mixing so that it will not burn and it will just be caramelized and well coated
