Three Caramelized Onion Recipes

Three Caramelized Onion Recipes

Caramelized Onion:

1 large onion                                     1 tbsp butter

pinch sea salt                                    pinch black pepper

1 tbsp olive oil                                   1 tsp onion powder

Method:

First peel and cut your onion in quarter moon shapes, follow the lines in the onion to cut them thin. Then you will need a large frying pan, add butter and oil. Turn on stove top heat to medium heat. Add sea salt, pepper and onion powder, keep frying until the onion is brown and caramelized. Around 10 to 15 minutes. Put in a container to keep in the fridge until ready to use.

Onion Gravy:

1 cup caramelized onion                           2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil                                           pinch sea salt

pinch black pepper                                    2 cups vegetable broth

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce                       2 tbsp flour

Method:

Use the same frying pan as your caramelized onion and add butter and oil, let melt and warm. Then add the flour, mix around until the flour is like paste.

Then add vegetable broth, mix until you see the broth start to thicken, add the caramelized onions, Worcestershire sauce, then to taste, add a pinch of sea salt, pinch of black pepper and more onion powder if needed.

Add more broth if you like the gravy to be more runny, or less for thicker gravy. Pour hot over your food or pour in a mason jar to be used anytime. Keep in the fridge for one week.

pinch black pepper                                      2 tbsp olive oil

Method:

In a bowl add all of your ingredients except the roasted peppers. Mix together and taste to see if you like to add in something else or maybe freshly pressed garlic to taste.
