Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the onions and slice them into thin, even rings or half-moons, depending on your preference.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil together over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and bubbling.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir well to coat them evenly in the butter and oil mixture.
Cook the onions for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onions, stir, and continue cooking for 10 more minutes on medium-low heat, allowing the natural sugars to caramelize.
Add the balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper, and stir well to incorporate.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft, deeply caramelized, and flavorful.
Remove from heat and allow the topping to cool slightly before serving. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
