Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons canola oil

CARAMELIZED ONIONS ON THE GRILL



Caramelized Onions on the Grill image

These are absolutely melt in your mouth delicious! You can make them on the grill or in the oven. Even friends of ours that don't care for onions loved these! I would recommend that you use 1 large onion for every 2 people. Some people want one whole onion to themselves so you might want to make some extra! They are also good heated up the next day but we rarely have any extra!

How to elevate the classic grilled cheese? How about filling thick slices of brioche with three cheeses, fresh herbs, a splash of prosecco and a spoonful of Dijon mustard? Add a jammy onion spread inspired by the flavors of French onion soup and you've got one unbeatable sandwich!

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1/4 cup diced Robiola cheese
1 tablespoon prosecco
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Four 1-inch-thick slices brioche

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sprinkle with the thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper.

CARAMELIZED ONIONS WITH BARBECUE SAUCE



Caramelized Onions with Barbecue Sauce image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Onion     Sauté     Picnic     Kid-Friendly     Bon Appétit     Small Plates

Yield Makes 4 adult-size servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup canned beef broth
1/2 cup purchased barbecue sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, salt and pepper; cook until onions begin to brown, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Add broth, barbecue sauce and vinegar. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm before serving.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions are best for caramelizing, as they have a higher sugar content than red onions.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them caramelize evenly.
  • Cook the onions over low heat: This will allow them to caramelize slowly and develop a deep, rich flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the onions will steam instead of caramelize.
  • Stir the onions occasionally: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Add a little liquid: A splash of water or vinegar can help the onions caramelize more quickly.
  • Be patient: Caramelizing onions takes time. It can take up to an hour to get them to the perfect golden brown color.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onions are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are perfect for topping burgers and hot dogs, adding flavor to sandwiches and wraps, or using as a condiment for grilled meats. You can caramelize onions ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week, making them a great option for busy weeknights.
