Caramelized Onions

Caramelized onions are the perfect addition to so many dishes – think tacos, BBQ
chicken or steak, or one of my favourites, quiche! They’re sweet and add a lot
of flavour. Okay, let’s get cooking this classic side dish.

Instructions

1 First, use a pan that will create build up. I’m using my enamel cast iron pan,
yet a stainless steel pan will work well, too. Just don’t use non-stick. The
best part about caramelizing onions is the bits of goodness that get stuck to
the pan (which we use the water to steam and lift up).
2 Once you’ve got your pan selected, peel and wash your onions, the cut in half
and thinly slice. Put them in the pan and add 1/2 the butter and oil. The turn
on low-medium heat.
3 Don’t stop yet (15 minutes) – you’re not even close. Keep going. Once you get a
good bit of build up, add a bit of water or chicken stock if you have any. The
water will keep the onions jammy and will help lift all the goodness that’s
baking onto the pan.
4 Now, you still might think you’re done around 25 minutes – but not yet. Just add
a bit more water and the salt to taste – they’re almost done.
5 Don’t stop until the onions are a deep and rich caramel colour.
6 Done. Let’s eat up on pierogi tacos [https://3ten.ca/recipe-pierogi-tacos/],
with BBQ chicken [https://3ten.ca/recipe-flat-bbq-chicken/], or on quiche – I’m
going to share a top-notch quiche recipe next. Be sure to check back in a few
days.
