Caramelised onions

These caramelised onions are a perfect accompaniment to any BBQ meats or sausages and they are great on homestyle burgers. Make them and they will keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

Ingredients

  • 1kg red onions

    peeled and sliced into rings

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 6 tbsp brown sugar

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

Equipment

  • 1 frying pan
  • 1 lid
  • 1 airtight container
  • 1 sterilised jar

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a lidded frying pan and place the onions in. Toss to coat in oil and put the lid on the frying pan and turn the heat to low.
  2. Cook for 15-20 mins until they collaspe, stirring occasionally to make sure they aren’t browning.
  3. Add the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar and stir over the heat to dissolve the sugar. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to get the onions carmelised with a sticky jammy coating.
  4. Store in an airtight container or sterilised jar in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
