Ingredients

  • 2 lbs onions
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Peel the onions and cut them in half. Thinly slice all the onions. Try to slice them as thinly as you can
  • Place a large deep sided skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil and heat for about a minute. Add all the onions at once and give a really good stir. Allow the onions to brown over high heat for about 3 - 4 minutes, stirring occasionally so they don't stick or burn.
  • Reduce heat to medium low and give the onions another really good stir around. The onions will now continue to cook and caramelize for the next 30 - 35 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes or so to prevent sticking and allow even cooking. If you notice the onions sticking too much, add a little splash of water to the pan.
  • Onions will be done when they are completely soft and golden brown. Remove from heat.
  • Serve straight away or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a about 5 days. Can be frozen for about 3 months.
