INSTRUCTIONS
- To make the caramelized onions: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the sliced onions for 6-8 minutes, until lightly browned. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and lower the heat to medium-low. Stir the onions only every 9-10 minutes. They're ready when golden brown and sweet, which can take up to an hour. Take out and set aside.
