Ingredients
- 4 large Yellow onions

- 6 stalks Green onions (scallions)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and slice the yellow onions into thin half-moons.
Peel and slice the red onions into thin half-moons.
Peel and finely chop the shallots.
Trim and finely slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the yellow and red onions to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the oil.
Cook the onions for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and caramelize.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt.
Stir in the shallots and the white parts of the green onions, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until everything is soft and fragrant.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the mixture and stir it in, allowing it to help the onions caramelize further.
Deglaze the skillet by adding balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with the sliced green parts of the green onions.
Serve immediately as a side dish or topping for your favorite mains.
