Description

A savory dish celebrating the rich flavors of caramelized onions, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • 4 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary), for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted.
  2. Add the sliced onions to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly.
  3. Season with salt and pepper; stir occasionally, allowing the onions to caramelize slowly for about 20–30 minutes. Keep the heat moderate to avoid burning.
  4. Once they are golden and nicely softened, remove from heat and taste; adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

For richer flavor, use a mix of onions like red and yellow. Patience is key; cook slowly for optimal caramelization.
