Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yellow onions
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 1.5 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar (optional for sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel the onions and slice them thinly into half-moons.
Peel the ginger and grate it finely using a microplane or the smallest side of a box grater.
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced onions and stir to coat them evenly in the oil.
Cook the onions on medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure they soften evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and add the grated ginger, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Continue cooking the onions on low heat, stirring every 3-5 minutes, for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the onions become deeply golden and caramelized. Avoid letting them stick to the pan; if they begin to stick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to deglaze and scrape up the browned bits.
Once the onions are fully caramelized and fragrant, remove the skillet from the heat.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a flavorful topping or side dish.
