RECIPE
CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Caramelized onions are a great flavor booster for a wide assortment of dishes any time of the year, but their golden brown hue and rich, complex taste seem to pair perfectly with autumn. Top a grilled sausage – perhaps from our friends at Full Quiver Farm – with them, garnish grilled pork, add to a grilled cheese sandwich, spoon in a bowl of Brunswick Stew, or make a dip by incorporating in with sour cream. Here’s how I make them.

Peel and finely slice 2 large white or yellow onions. In a large saute pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil  and heat. Add the sliced onions and a dash of salt and cook, stirring occasionally with a non-metal spoon. For 8-10 minutes. Onions should soften, become translucent, and begin to brown; do not burn.

Reduce heat to low , add 4 tablespoons white wine, and cook another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Onions should be soft and browned and wine should be absorbed. Add another dash of salt and pepper. Serve hot, room temperature, or cold.
