Caramelized Onions
- 20 g grapeseed oil (2 tablespoons)
- 2 medium Spanish onions, halved and thinly sliced
- 6 g kosher salt (1 1/2 teaspoons)
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan or skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute, or until its very hot but not smoking.
- Add the onions and let them cook for 2 to 3 minutes without stirring.
- Toss the onions with a large spoon or spatula while seasoning them with the salt.
- Lower the heat to medium-low.
- The rest of the caramelization process happens slowly over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
- Work on another subrecipe, pay some bills, kill some time productivelybut dont go too far from the onions.
- Toss the onions over on themselves every 3 to 4 minutes so they all get their time on the bottom of the pan.
- The onions will weep and then slowly take on color as they release their liquid.
- When your onions are the color of a brown paper bag, they are done.
- Cool completely before using in the volcanoes, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
