Caramelized onions are a simple way to increase the richness of flavor in just about any meal. Sprinkle them over steamed green beans, toss them into your spaghetti sauce, or use them to top your pizza.
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 vidalia onions or other sweet onions, cut into rings (or substitute regular yellow onions plus 1/2 tespoon sugar)
pinch of salt
Heat oil in large heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add onions. Reduce heat to medium low heat. Cook, stirring every five minutes or so, for 30 to 40 minutes, until onions are a deep caramel color. Onions may be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months.
