Caramelized Onions

Ingredients

• 2 large Yellow Onion (peeled and thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (extra-virgin, for sautéing)
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt (helps draw out moisture)
• 2 tablespoons Water (creates steam to speed up softening)

Instructions

1. Prepare the onions

   Peel the onions and slice them thinly (about 1‑2 mm) so they cook evenly.

   Time: PT10M

2. Heat the oil

   Add 2 Tbsp olive oil to a large skillet and set the burner to low heat. Let the oil warm for about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

3. Add onions, salt, and water

   Add the sliced onions, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 2 Tbsp water to the skillet. Stir to coat evenly.

   Time: PT1M

4. Initial softening (12 min)

   Cook on low heat, stirring every few minutes. The onions will become translucent and start to release moisture.

   Time: PT12M

5. Caramelization (41 min)

   Continue cooking on low heat, stirring occasionally. As the moisture evaporates, the onions will turn golden, then deep brown. If the pan dries out, add a teaspoon of water at a time.

   Time: PT41M

6. Finish and store

   When the onions are richly brown and sweet, remove from heat. Use immediately or let cool and store.

   Time: PT2M
