Instructions
Caramelized onions
- In a pan over medium heat, add the sliced 1 medium yellow onion and slowly cook until caramelized. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and add one tablespoon of water when you find onions sticking to help deglaze.
- When the onions are golden brown, add the ⅛ tsp kosher salt and stir.
- Mix until the onions are dark brown but not burnt. You should end up with about ¼ cup of caramelized onions. This can take up to 45 minutes-1 hour.
