Onion Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel and chop the onions into thin slices. You should have about 2 cups of sliced onions.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Cook the Onions

    Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir well to coat them in the olive oil.

  4. 4

    Seasoning the Onions

    Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper over the onions. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Garlic

    After 5 minutes of cooking, add 2 tablespoons of minced garlic to the onions and stir well.

  6. 6

    Finish with Balsamic and Thyme

    Once the onions are soft and caramelized (about 15-20 minutes total), drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves over the top. Stir to combine.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat and serve the caramelized onions warm as a topping or side dish.
