Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel the onions and slice them thinly. Aim for even slices for uniform cooking.

  2. 2

    Measure the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients: olive oil, salt, black pepper, sugar, and balsamic vinegar.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

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

  2. 4

    Add the Onions

    Add the sliced onions to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the oil.

  3. 5

    Season the Onions

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

  4. 6

    Cook the Onions

    Cook the onions on medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until they are soft and caramelized. If they start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat.

  5. 7

    Add Sugar and Balsamic Vinegar

    Once the onions are soft and caramelized, add the sugar and balsamic vinegar. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  6. 8

    Taste and Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the onions and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

  7. 9

    Serve

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