Quick Caramelized Onions
Quick caramelized onions are achieved by adding sugar or baking soda to the cooking process. This speeds up the browning, resulting in sweet, golden onions in less time than traditional methods.
Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 5 cups Finely sliced large onions
- 1 tbsp Butter
- Water
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large heavy-bottomed pan over high heat.
- Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the bottom is glazed in pale brown fond, about 5 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water and scrape up the fond.
- Continue cooking, adding water and scraping every 2 minutes, until onions are deep brown, about 15 minutes.
- Season with salt and remove from the pan quickly to prevent burning.
