Ingredients

• 4 large Yellow onions
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (optional, to taste)
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into uniform half-moon slices.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir gently to coat the onions in the butter and oil mixture.

Step 4

Sprinkle the salt over the onions to help draw out their moisture. Reduce the heat to medium-low to prevent burning.

Step 5

Cook the onions, stirring every 3-5 minutes, for about 25 minutes or until golden and softened. Be patient as the natural sugars in the onions caramelize slowly.

Step 6

After the onions are golden and tender, drizzle the honey evenly over the onions. Stir well to integrate the honey.

Step 7

Add the water to the skillet to deglaze the pan and scrape up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden-brown and the honey has fully caramelized.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with black pepper as desired.

Step 10

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature as a topping or side dish.
