Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel the onions and cut them into thick slices. Aim for around 1-inch thick slices for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized.

  3. 3

    Add Balsamic Vinegar

    Pour balsamic vinegar over the onions in the skillet. Stir well to combine and allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the vinegar reduce slightly.

  4. 4

    Finish with Thyme

    Add fresh thyme to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the sautéed onions to a serving dish and enjoy as a delicious side dish!
