📝 Preparation Steps
1
Caramelize onions: Heat butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven safe skillet over medium heat. Add in onions and cook for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes stirring every ⏱️ 5 minutes or so. If the onions are getting too brown turn down the heat to medium low. Add in the marsala and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any fond aka "brown bits". This adds so much flavor! Remove the onions from the pan and set aside on a plate.
