Ingredients:
– 2 large onions
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Begin by slicing the onions: Peel the onions and cut them in half from root to tip. Thinly slice each half crosswise to create half-moon shapes.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté them, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and turn translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking the onions, stirring occasionally, until they caramelize and turn a deep golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Cooking the onions slowly over low heat will help bring out their natural sweetness and develop their rich flavor.
4. Once the onions are caramelized to your liking, increase the heat to medium and pour balsamic vinegar over the onions. Stir well to coat the onions evenly with the vinegar.
5. Cook the onions for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the balsamic vinegar to reduce slightly and infuse the onions with its sweet and tangy flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the balsamic onions to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for an extra burst of flavor and a touch of freshness.
7. Serve the Balsamico Zwiebeln warm as a topping for salads, sandwiches, grilled meats, or pizzas. These balsamic onions can also be enjoyed as a side dish or a flavorful addition to your favorite dishes.
