1
Prepare the Onions
Slice the onions thinly, about 1/4 inch thick.
2
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted.
3
Cook the Onions
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir to coat them in the butter and oil.
4
Add Seasoning
Sprinkle the salt and sugar over the onions, stirring well to combine.
5
Caramelize the Onions
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 20-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and caramelized. If they start to stick to the pan, you can add a splash of water.
6
Finish with Balsamic
Once the onions are caramelized, stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
7
Serve
Remove from heat and serve warm as a topping for burgers, sandwiches, or as a side dish.
