Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Yellow or white onions
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Vegetable broth or if needed

Instructions
 

  • Cut onions in half through the root
  • Thinly slice lengthwise
  • Set heat to medium high
  • Heat butter and olive oil until it sizzles
  • Cook onions a couple of handfuls at a time, stirring constantly
  • Slowly stir in the rest of the onion by handfuls until you've added them all.
  • Season with kosher salt.
  • Reduce heat to medium low and continue stirring for approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until the onion is cooked to desired "doneness". A soft yellow look is great for French onion look while browner more caramelized onions are perfect for topping off sandwiches, etc.
  • If the onions are sticking to the pan, add a bit of broth or water and continue stirring.
  • Let cool in the pan.

Notes

Use the caramelized onions to top off mashed potatoes, chicken or steak on sandwiches, pizzas, etc.
I usually double this recipe I love it so much and they store in the refrigerator well for about 5 days.
