Ingredients
Yellow Onions
Butter or Oil
Salt
Pepper
Balsamic Vinegar (Optional)
Instructions
Slice the Onions: Start by slicing your onions into thin, even slices.
Heat the Fat: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter (or heat the oil) over medium-low heat.
Add the Onions: Add the sliced onions to the hot fat and stir to coat them evenly. Spread the onions out in a single layer as much as possible.
Cook Low and Slow: Let the onions cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes to an hour.
Adjust the Heat: If the onions start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat slightly. Conversely, if the onions are taking too long to caramelize, you can increase the heat a bit.
Season with Salt and Pepper: Once the onions have reached a deep, golden-brown color and a sweet, almost jammy texture, season them with salt and pepper to taste.
Deglaze with Balsamic Vinegar (Optional): For an extra depth of flavor, you can deglaze the pan with a splash of balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
