👨‍🍳 Method

For the Caramelized Onion

  1. 1
    Heat tbsp of the olive oil with the canola oil in a wide pot and fry the onion over low heat 20 minutes, stirring, until it is deep brown.
    StoveWide, shallow pot
    💡Onion caramelizes with patience: over medium heat it reaches deep brown in about half an hour, over low heat it takes close to an hour, and over high heat it burns at the edges before it softens. A pinch of salt at the start draws out its liquid, and when it starts to stick, add a tablespoon of water and scrape the bottom.
  2. 2
    Remove all the onion from the pot and set aside.
