Caramelized Onions
- 1 whole Medium Yellow Onion
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Or Grape Seed Oil, Or As Needed
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar (optional)
- 1/2 Tablespoons Butter (optional)
- 1. Peel the onion and cut at the top and root ends. Cut in half from root to top and slice thinly.
- 2. Heat a skillet or wide saute pan until quite hot with a bit of oil.
- 3. Drop in the onions and stir rapidly as they release their juice.
- 4. Add a pinch of salt and lower the head to the lowest setting. Cook for 30-60 minutes depending on how many onions are in the pan. If the onions are old, add a pinch of sugar and a drop of balsamic along the way. Add some butter if the pan becomes too dry.
- 5. Cook until the onions are a uniform dark caramel color.
- 1 medium onion makes about 1/3 cup caramelized onions.
