Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel the onions and slice them thinly. Aim for even slices to ensure they cook uniformly.

  2. 2

    Gather Ingredients

    Measure out all the remaining ingredients, including butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and fresh thyme.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once melted and hot, add the sliced onions.

  2. 4

    Season the Onions

    Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the onions. Stir to combine evenly.

  3. 5

    Cook Until Softened

    Cook the onions for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized. If they start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat.

  4. 6

    Add Sugar and Balsamic Vinegar

    Once the onions are caramelized, sprinkle in the sugar and drizzle the balsamic vinegar. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  5. 7

    Finish with Thyme

    Remove from heat and stir in the fresh thyme before serving.
