KITTENCAL'S ONION GRAVY
I have a family of onion-lovers so I always double the recipe, this gravy has tons of flavor, if you love onions then then you will love this!

This is delicious served with a pork roast and mashed taters or over fries, do not add in any extra salt until end of cooking :)

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a low heat.
- Add the onions with a generous pinch of salt and cook slowly for 30-40 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning until they become soft and golden. If the onions start to catch, add a splash of water to the pan and mix well.
- Add the sugar and vinegar to give them a sweet, slightly sharp chutney flavour. Keep cooking on a low heat for another 5 mins, stirring occasionally until the mix is sticky, the sugar has dissolved and the vinegar has reduced. The onions are now ready to serve, or use in a recipe.

Tips:
- For the best caramelized onions, use a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat. This will help to prevent the onions from burning.
- Slice the onions thinly and evenly. This will help them to caramelize evenly.
- Don't crowd the pan. If you add too many onions at once, they will steam instead of caramelize.
- Stir the onions occasionally, but not too often. Too much stirring can prevent the onions from caramelizing properly.
- Be patient! Caramelizing onions takes time. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the amount of onions you are caramelizing.
- Don't add salt to the onions until the end of the cooking process. Salt can draw out the moisture from the onions and prevent them from caramelizing.
- Use caramelized onions as a topping for burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, and other dishes.

Caramelized onions are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a great way to add flavor and complexity to your favorite recipes.
