Caramelized Onions

Sweet, savory, and truly delicious, caramelized onions are a favorite in my kitchen for their flavor and versatility.

When you have the time (2 hours or so), making caramelized onions is a relatively simple process that requires a bit of chopping, seasoning, and occasional stirring. Begin by cutting 10-12 onions into slices. Opt for a variety of yellow, red, and white onions.

Add your onions to a large pot with olive oil, agave, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook on low heat for an hour, stirring every 15 minutes or so. After the onions turn translucent, add garlic, balsamic vinegar, red wine, and soy sauce, and allow this to cook down until your onions are perfectly caramelized.

Pair with pasta, pizza, paninis, and whatever you please!

NOTES

If your onions start to stick to the bottom of the pot, add a splash of water. The onions will absorb the moisture.
