Frying up onions is easy to go with a BBQ, hot dogs or a savory meal, however to make them a little tastier with just a little more effort - try caramelising them.
Ingredients
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 3 large red or brown onions, sliced
- 2 tbs brown sugar
- 1-2 tbs balsamic vinegar
Method
- Heat oil in a large frypan over low heat. Add the onions and a good pinch of salt and cook very slowly for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent them from catching. Don't be tempted to turn the heat up, as you don't want the onions to burn.
- When onions are softened and tinged golden, add sugar and balsamic - this will start the caramelisation process. Cook onion over low heat for a further 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sticky and caramelised. Use immediately, or store in the fridge, in a sterilised jar or plastic container, and use when required.
