Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh chives
- 0.5 cup Cream cheese
- 4 pieces Pita breads
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir occasionally to coat them evenly in the oil.
Sprinkle the sugar, salt, and black pepper over the onions. Continue cooking on medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes until the onions are caramelized and golden brown. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
While the onions cook, finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese and half of the chopped chives. Mix until the chives are evenly distributed.
When the onions are caramelized, remove them from the heat and allow them to cool slightly.
Warm the pita breads (optional) by toasting them lightly in a pan with a bit of butter or placing them in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
Cut the pita breads in half to create pockets. Gently spread the cream cheese mixture inside each pita pocket.
Stuff each pita pocket with a generous spoonful of the caramelized onions, then garnish with the remaining chopped chives.
Serve the Onion and Chive Pitas warm and enjoy!
