1
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into thin, even rings. Aim for uniform thickness for even cooking.
2
Prepare the Cooking Mixture
In a large skillet, combine the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely.

3
Add Onions to the Skillet
Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onions to the skillet. Stir to coat the onions in the butter and oil mixture.
4
Season the Onions
Sprinkle the salt and sugar over the onions. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings.
5
Cook the Onions
Cook the onions over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 15-20 minutes. The onions should become soft and translucent.
6
Caramelize the Onions
Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking the onions, stirring occasionally for another 20-30 minutes. They should gradually turn a deep golden brown color.
7
Finish with Balsamic Vinegar
Once the onions are caramelized to your liking, stir in the balsamic vinegar. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the vinegar to reduce slightly.
