Perfect Caramelized Onions (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
90g (6 tablespoons) of unsalted butter
02 -
3 lbs (1.4kg) of thinly sliced yellow or mixed onions, about 1/8 inch thick
03 -
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to your liking
# Instructions:
01 -
In a big sauté pan made of stainless steel or two large skillets, heat the butter over medium-high until it starts to bubble.
02 -
Toss in the onions and stir every now and then until they're soft, which should take about 8 minutes.
03 -
Turn the heat down to medium-low and keep cooking, stirring more often, until the onions turn super sweet and a deep golden brown. This could take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours. If bits on the bottom start sticking or burning, pour in 1 tablespoon of water and scrape them off.
04 -
Sprinkle in some salt and pepper, adjusting to your preferred taste.
# Notes:
01 -
Yellow onions are your best bet, but mixing them with sweet ones (like Vidalia), red onions, or even shallots can give a more layered taste.
02 -
You can store these in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Warm them up again when you're ready to enjoy.
