Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cups onions white or yellow, sliced thin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat a large dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering, then add the onions and salt.
- Stir so they are all coated in the oil, then reduce heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they turn a deep, rich, golden hue—about 20 minutes.
- If needed, add a couple tablespoons of water occasionally to keep the onions from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before serving on sandwiches, burgers, pizza, and appetizers. Enjoy!
