Balsamic Caramelised Onions
  • Author: sylveb

This slow-cooked caramelized onion recipe transforms humble onions into a rich and savory condiment that beautifully complements a variety of dishes. Let the onions soften and deepen in flavor over a low heat, enhanced by the subtle sweetness of balsamic vinegar. Perfect as a side for roasted meats or as a flavorful topping for bread and cheese creations.

Ingredients

  • 1tsp Oil
  • 700g Onions, finely sliced (use red for a sweeter taste)
  • 1tbsp Caster Sugar
  • 1tsp Salt
  • pinch Pepper
  • 2tbsp Balsamic Vinegar

Instructions

  • Put all the ingredients apart from the vinegar in a slow cooker - or a very low oven or aga (50degreesC)
  • Let it cook all day - and all night if it needs it - untill the onions are soft and dark brown and reduced. If it is crisping the heat is too high. You may need to stirr it occasionally - but i usually just leave it.
  • Cook for the last half hour without a lid - to help it dry out a bit.
  • Stirr in the balsamic vinegar. Done!
  • I serve this with Lamb or Beef - but I also keep pots of it in the freezer to top homemade bread - or to put on puff pastry with brie.
