Caramelized Onions

Prep: 5 min, Cook 50-75 min

Makes 8 Servings

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 medium yellow onions, halved and sliced
• ½ teaspoon sea salt

Directions

1. In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes or until starting to soften.
2. After the onions start to soften, add the salt, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for 50 to 75 minutes, stirring every few minutes, or until the onions are very soft, golden brown, and caramelized. Depending on the size of your onions and the heat of your stove, the time can vary. If the onions start to stick to the bottom of the pan, reduce the heat to low. You can also raise the heat if the onions aren’t deeply brown after 50 minutes. This will speed up the process. Stir continuously to prevent burning and sticking.
