Caramelized Onions

Ingredients

4 large White onions (see recipe notes regarding choice of onions)
2 Tbsp. Olive oil

Instructions

Julienne the onions.

Heat a saute pan over mediium heat. When the pan is hot add the oil.

Add the onions. Keep the onions moving in the pan so that they do not burn.

The onions will soften, lose volume, and release some moisture.

Continue cooking for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every few minutes.

If at any time the onions start to burn or stick to the pan, add 1 Tbsp water to realease them and reduce the heat.

Cook until the onions reach the desired deep brown color.

Recipe Notes

All onions will caramelize, but because sweet varieties have slightly higher sugar content, they tend to have a richer finished flavor. Sweet varieties include Vidalia, Walla Walla, Maui, and any that have “sweet” in the name.
