Brown Butter Caramelized Onions
Ingredients:
1/4 cup salted or unsalted butter
2 yellow onions, sliced
salt, to taste
2 tablespoons dry white wine or water
Preparation:
In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter (add a pinch of salt if using unsalted)
Once the butter is melted, we are going to take it a step further to brown! Continue cooking the butter, stirring constantly until brown bits appear at the bottom of the pan (it may foam up a bit but stirring should help you see the brown bits appear!)
Once the butter is brown, reduce the heat to LOW, add in your sliced onions and stir to coat.
We are going to go very low and slow here, so not to burn the butter & onions. Keep stirring regularly! This will take 45 minutes to an hour.
Once soft, season the onions with another small pinch of salt and continue cooking, stirring every couple of minutes to prevent them from sticking or burning.
Keep cooking and stirring until golden brown, add in your white wine or water and scrape up and brown bits stuck to the pan.
Once the onions are a deep brown caramelizey color. Remove from pan and set aside.
