Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by peeling the onions and slicing them thinly. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir occasionally and cook until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic

    Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Balsamic Vinegar

    Pour in the balsamic vinegar and stir, scraping any bits off the bottom of the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until the vinegar is slightly reduced.

  5. 5

    Add Fresh Thyme

    Finally, add the fresh thyme to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish or topping for meats or salads.
