How to Caramelize Onions
Caramelized onions are life savers if you make them beforehand and store in the fridge.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 onions halved and sliced thinly
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon grape molasses optional
- 1 tablespoon water
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
- Add all the onions and stir to coat all the onions evenly. Stir occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to medium low so that the onions don’t burn.
- Add in salt after 10 minutes and add water to the skillet if the onions start to stick at the bottom of the skillet.
- Cook them for 30 minutes stirring occasionally and add in grape molasses.
- Bring the heat to the lowest and let them cook for about 20 minutes more.
- Don’t forget to stir every few minutes.
- Let them stick a little to the skillet to get a nice brown texture, so don’t stir too often.
- Continue to cook and scrape until you have the desired caramelized onions.
- Cool and store in the fridge for several days.
