Carmelized onions
- 5 onions, frenched
- Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- salt
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Heat a large flat-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onions. Stir to coat with the oil, then spread them out over the bottom of the pan. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
Sprinkle salt and 1 teaspoon sugar over the onions. Stir, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cook for another 30 minutes, allowing the onions to brown but stirring them when they start to stick. Add a little oil if needed.
Add balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan.
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is
in it - and stay there, lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot
stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that
is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more.
-- Mark Twain
