Number Of Ingredients 5

3 good size brown onions (peeled)
2 tbsp olive oil
½ c balsamic vinegar
⅓ c brown sugar
1 tsp thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Pop all remaining ingredients into the pan, and give a good stir to combine. Place on a low to medium heat. You want the onions to be gently simmering in the balsamic mixture.

Time 1h

Yield 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large yellow onions
3 large red onions
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only

Steps:

  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or pan set over medium-high heat. Peel and slice the onions into rounds while the butter is melting and add them to the pot. Toss to coat the onions and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Turn the heat down to medium and do not cover the pot. You want these babies to get brown! Stir occasionally, for about 10 to 15 minutes, then turn the heat to medium-low. Keep stirring (switch to a spatula or wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits) until the onions are browned and soft. Add the thyme leaves, toss and remove from the heat. These will keep for 5 days in a covered bowl in the refrigerator. Use the leftovers with eggs, on top of a salad, or straight from the bowl with a fork.
