The Joy of Cooking with Onions
Onions often play a supporting role, but this simple recipe makes them the star. Slow-cooked onions reveal a sweet, mellow flavor that enhances any meal. This weekend recipe shows just how versatile and delightful onions can be.
How to Make the Onion Recipe
Select Your Onions:
Choose medium to large onions, ideally sweet varieties like Vidalia or Walla Walla, which caramelize beautifully.
Prepare the Onions:
Peel and slice the onions into even, thick rings or half-moons. Rings help achieve even caramelization.
Slow Cook to Perfection:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a touch of olive oil or butter, then place your onions in the pan. Cover with a lid and cook slowly, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking or burning.
Be patient—this process takes time, but the onions are ready when they turn rich golden and have a tender, buttery texture.
