How to Make Caramelized Onions
Buttery and tender with a hint of sweetness, Caramelized Onions add mouthwatering flavor to your favorite recipes. Cooked until they are richly browned, it is a fantastic way to pull all of the rich flavor out of a simple ingredient.
Ingredients
- 3 large onions red, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp sherry or broth or wine (to de-glaze)
Instructions
- Slice the onions into 1/4 inch thick rings, separate each ring.
- Over medium heat, melt the butter in a skillet on the stove.
- Add the onions, separating into rings. Stir to coat with butter.
- Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring every 3-5 minutes until they are tender and starting to brown. Add the liquid to de-glaze the pan, using a spatula to scrape all of the crispy bits from the bottom of the pan.
- When onions are browned, they are done. Remove the onions from the skillet to stop cooking.
Chef Tips
If using yellow or white onions, increase the cooking time to 40 minutes.
