Ingredients
- 2 medium onion sliced along the grain of the onion
- 1 pint white mushroom sliced, or baby bella or cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ghee AIP Reintroduction, to make it AIP friendly, just use additional extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a large sauté pan over medium high heat.
- Add the onions and mushrooms then stir to coat the onions. Then add the salt and honey.
- Spread the onions out over the pan and let cook for about 15 minutes while stirring occasionally. You want to give them time to brown and caramelize without burning and sticking to the pan. If you find that they are drying out, then you can add a little water.
- Once the onions begin to reduce, lower the heat to medium low. You may need to stir the onions more frequently to keep them from burning. Cook for another 15-20 minutes until all the onions are completely caramelized and golden brown.
- Add the vinegar to the pan. Stir to coat the onions then let cook for a few more minutes before serving.

Notes
- Ghee is easy to make at home. Here’s my recipe for Instant Pot Ghee.
- Please note that ghee is an AIP Reintroduction. To make it AIP friendly, just use additional extra virgin olive oil.
- White, baby bella or cremini mushrooms are all acceptable for this recipe.
- To slice the onion along the grain, cut the ends off, slice in half then slice along the grain. You should see the striations and should cut along them to create sticks of onion.
