How to Make Caramelized Onions Recipe
Make caramelized onions using just butter and oil. The key is to cook slowly and to not over-stir!
Ingredients
- 4 cups onions loosely-packed, sliced, any kind
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup wine stock, balsamic vinegar or water
Instructions
- Cut the top and bottom off of each onion. Slice the onions lengthwise.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions and coat with oil. Sauté slowly, stirring every 10 minutes or so. Cook 30–40 minutes, depending on how large the onions are and how dark you like them.
- Deglaze the pan with your choice of liquid to add the flavor to the onions and lightly salt to taste.
Notes
If you opt to use balsamic vinegar, the longer it has aged, the better and smoother it will taste!
