Omigosh, I've discovered the sweet, tangy, savoriness that is
slooooowly caramelized onions. :melting How has it taken me 36 years to learn this?
I've tried a couple of times over the last year to make them and failed miserably, but I've finally found the trick to it, and ooooooooooh. Just had to share. :giggle |

I LOVE caramelized onions and do OK with them but if I could do them even better, I'm all for it! |

:giggle I tend to assume that everyone else already knows how to do what I discover in the kitchen. :shifty
I slice them thin and dump into a slightly preheated cast iron pan with just enough oil in it to toss to coat the onions. Add a sprinkle of rough salt to encourage the water to release out (concentrating the flavor) and cook for about five minutes on medium, stirring/tossing with tongs about constantly, while they "sweat" - there's steaming and light sizzling, but NO BROWNING. Once the steam abates some, I turn the flame down to med/low and cook slowly, tossing/stirring every couple of minutes, making sure they don't *brown* (as opposed to gradually darken - that's good, but you're not looking for much color change for probably the first ten minutes or so), for at least a half hour (tonight's were for over 45 :shifty), until you have a moist, soft, stringy, medium brown mess of goodness. |

My kids LOVE "candy" onions.

You can add a little bit of water to the pan too :) while they are darkening. Makes it harder to burn :shifty

You can also add a little sugar to caramelize them even more. ;)

I love carmelized onions. You should try Brian boitanos red onion jam recipe. Sooo good.

I'll have to remember that trick next time I make caramelized radishes.

i started adding a scoop of coconut oil about 10 min. from the end :melting
I like them quite dark, though. Mine usually go *at least* an hour. |
