How to Make Caramelized Onions

• Heat a heavy pan or pot large pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan.
• Add the sliced onions to the pan. Allow the onion to cook for 1 -2 minutes before you start stirring the onions, stir the onions scraping the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook and sit the onions for 4 more minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low, allow the onions to lightly brown on the bottom before you stir, and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook stirring and scarping for another 35 minutes.
• The finished onions should be a deep golden brown and the onions should be tender and sweet.
• Finish the onions with the thyme leaves, adjust the seasoning with kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper. I like to add a little dash of olive oil to the caramelized onions to finish.
