Instructions

  1. In a large non-stick skillet, turn flame to medium/medium-low heat. Pour in oil and then place butter onto the oil. Let melt, then add onion slices and salt to the pan. Stir with a large spoon to coat onions in the fat. Stir every few minutes, but leave alone for most of the next twenty minutes.
  2. After 20 minutes, you should notice fond (browned bits) on the pan. Scrape it up with your wooden spoon and mix it into your onions. They shouldn't really have developed much, if any color yet.
  3. Turn the flame to the next-step lower heat setting, then every 8 minutes stir up the fond into the onions and mix the onions so the onions on top can get more time in the fat on the bottom to brown up. Do this 3 more times, every 8 minutes.
  4. Now you should have a good little bit of color on your onions. Turn heat to the second-lowest setting, and stir up every 5 minutes until the lovely amber color you want is created.
  5. The caramelized onions will last a week and are freezer friendly!
