How to Cook Onions
Caramelized onions are simply onions that are cooked for an extended period of time in either oil or butter.
Servings: 1 cup
cup
Equipment
- Skillet
- Wooden spatula
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, (sliced)
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Peel the onions, place them on cutting board, and cut in half.
- Cut the onions thinly. I like them to be sliced long and thin.
- Heat a stainless steel skillet on medium high heat, add butter. Once melted, add olive oil until the oil and butter are simmering. Add the onion slices and stir to coat the onions with the oil. Spread the onions out evenly over the pan and let cook, stirring occasionally.
- I recommend adding onions in batches to prevent overcrowding. Add salt.
- The way to achieve perfect caramelization is to leave onions alone enough to brown, but not so long so that they burn. After the first 5 minutes, I usually lower the stove temperature a little, and sometimes add more butter.
- I use wooden spatula to cook, scrape, and turn the onions, until the onions are a rich, browned color.
