Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
Peel the yellow onions and slice them thinly into even rings or half-moons.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sprinkle with salt to help draw out moisture. Stir well to coat the onions in the butter and oil.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until they become soft, golden, and caramelized.
Once the onions are caramelized, drizzle the honey over them and stir to combine. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the honey to coat the onions and enhance their sweetness.
Season with black pepper and fresh thyme if desired. Stir and taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the onions warm as a topping or side dish. Enjoy!
