Caramelised onions

Makes About 1 cup

Ingredients
2 tbs olive oil
3 large red or brown onions, sliced
2 tbs brown sugar
1-2 tbs balsamic vinegar
Method
Heat oil in a large frypan over low heat. Add the onions and a good pinch of salt and cook very slowly for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent them from catching.

When onions are softened and tinged golden, add sugar and balsamic - this will start the caramelisation process. Cook onion over low heat for a further 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sticky and caramelised. Use immediately, or store in the fridge, in a sterilised jar or plastic container, and use when required.



This recipe has become one of my favorites. it turns a sausage sizzle into lunch with a bit of flair. ive also used it on my 5 min bread dough with tomatoes and cheese.
