Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the yellow onions and slice them thinly into even rings or half-moons.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.
Step 3
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sprinkle with salt to help draw out moisture. Stir well to coat the onions in the butter and oil.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until they become soft, golden, and caramelized.
Step 5
Once the onions are caramelized, drizzle the honey over them and stir to combine. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the honey to coat the onions and enhance their sweetness.
Step 6
Season with black pepper and fresh thyme if desired. Stir and taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the onions warm as a topping or side dish. Enjoy!
