📝 Preparation Steps
1
Peel the onions and slice them thinly, pole to pole, to ensure even cooking. Aim for slices about 2-3 mm thick.
2
In a large enough fry pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Once hot (365°F / 185°C), add the onions ensuring they are spread out evenly and sauté for a couple minutes.
3
Cover and cook stirring well every 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes to ensure even cooking and caramelization. This should take about ⏱️ 10 minutes, or until they are a nice dark golden brown.
4
Add the vinegar and sugar* (if needed) to achieve the perfect balance between sweet and savory.
5
*If you are using aged (sweet) Balsamic Vinegar, skip the sugar.
