Caramelized Onions
Dice 1/2 a yellow onion, heat a pan with 2 tbsp of olive oil. Sauté in the pan on medium heat stirring every few minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and stir every couple of minutes for the first 30 minutes. If the onions stick or look like they’re burning, add a few tablespoons of water as needed to rehydrate the onions and use a spatula to scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pan and back into the onions. Cook for about 45 min or until they are cooked to your liking.
