Caramelised Onions

Making caramelised the right way might take up to 5 hours and does not require adding any other sugar. I have so far failed to go the full lenght, but hopefully this day might come soon.

Caramelised onions in a pan, golden brown and sweet

Ingredients

  • 4 large white onions (about 400g each)
  • 45g butter
  • 8g salt

Instructions

  1. Cut the onions into strings.
  2. Put a pan on medium and add butter.
  3. Throw in the onions and mix (if all the onions do not fit the pot, do not worry, you can add the rest a bit later).
  4. Add the salt and mix.
  5. Mix throroughly at least every 10 minutes, until all the water evapores. This could take between 1-1,5 hours.
  6. After that, reduce the heat to low and mix properly at least every 5 minutes.
  7. The whole process might take end to end between 4-5 hours.
  8. I have so far managed only 2,5 hours, still the onions were great and I hope to finish the whole process one day.
