Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Onions

    Peel the onions and slice them in half. Then, slice each half into thin strips to yield about 2 cups of chopped onion.

  2. 2

    Prepare Other Ingredients

    Measure out the olive oil, salt, black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and fresh thyme and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Onions

    Add the chopped onions to the skillet and stir well to coat them with the olive oil.

  3. 5

    Season with Salt and Pepper

    Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the onions and continue to sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the onions become soft and translucent.

  4. 6

    Add Balsamic Vinegar and Thyme

    Pour in the balsamic vinegar and add the fresh thyme. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vinegar to slightly reduce.

  5. 7

    Finish Cooking

    Once the onions are caramelized and tender, remove from heat and let them cool slightly before serving.
