Caramelised Onions

This simple but tasty side-dish is a great accompaniment to many dishes!
Add it to a sandwich or burger, or serve next to some veggies and mashed potatoes! The possibilities are endless.

Ingredients

  • Red Onions
  • Brown Sugar
  • Apple Cider Vinegar (or any vinegar will do)

Method:

  1. Peel your red onions. I usually take off the topmost layer, to ensure there's no skin left. It's a horrible feeling to bite into some cooked onion only to find a solid piece of onion skin! Ew.
  2. Chop your onions into thin strips.
  3. In a pan heat up a dash of your oil of choice, make it nice and hot.
  4. Add your onions and immediately turn the heat to low. Stir regularly to prevent them overcooking at the bottom or sticking to the pan.
  5. We need to cook the onions for around 20-25 minutes. Stir the onions regularly. If the pan gets too dry or the onions start to stick pour in some water and give it all a stir.
  6. After 20-25 minutes have passed, or your onions have turned a tasty brown colour, add in a shot of apple cider vinegar and two teaspoons of brown sugar.
  7. Stir generously to mix it all together, and let it cook for a further 5 minutes.
  8. Serve and enjoy!
