CARAMELIZED ONIONS
Learning how to properly caramelize onions is key. Once you've mastered the basic technique, you'll use them for everything from French onion soup to onion dip to topping burgers.

Steps:
- Halve both onions through root end. Using the tip of your knife, cut a V-shaped notch around root to remove it (this will ensure that all slices separate when you cut the onion).
- Place 1 onion half on your cutting board so root end is facing you, then thinly slice onion lengthwise, starting at one side and working all the way to the other (so your knife runs through the root halfway through, not starting or ending at the root end). You're going for slices that are 1/4"-1/8" thick.
- Repeat same slicing procedure for remaining onion halves. It's a lot of onion! But it will cook down quite a bit, so it's best to start with a large quantity.
- Heat 2 Tbsp. butter in a large saucepan over medium until melted and sizzling. You can use a skillet to cook the onions, but a pan with high sides will keep the onions from flipping out onto your stove. Using a pan that also has a wide base gives water room to evaporate, allowing the onions to caramelize rather than steam.
- Instead of dumping in all of the onions at once, which would fill the pot and make it hard to stir (which would then cause the ones on the bottom to cook faster), start by adding just a couple of large handfuls to the pot. Cook, stirring, until onions are soft and starting to turn translucent, 1-2 minutes. Stir in a few more handfuls of onion and repeat cooking and stirring process until you've added all the onions. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook onions, stirring every few minutes to prevent them from sticking and coloring too much in any one place, until blonde-colored, 15-20 minutes. This is the point of doneness for French onion soup! If you feel like onions are getting too brown around the edges or they're sticking, reduce your heat a bit.
- If you're going for onions that are both softer and more caramelized (say for a patty melt or onion dip), keep cooking, stirring on the regular, until onions are unmistakably golden brown, another 15-20 minutes. Because most of the water has cooked off at this point, there might be some bare spots where the pot could start to burn. If this happens, stir in a splash of broth or water. The liquid will dissolve the cooked-on bits, which the onions will re-absorb.
- For extra-dark onions, the kind that make a great burger topping, cook until they start to almost blacken around the edges and go slightly crisp, another 10-15 minutes. This requires constant attention so they don't burn. No one said caramelized onions were quick!
- Let onions cool in the saucepan, then use or transfer to an airtight container and chill. They will keep up to 1 week.

Steps:

- Reduce heat to medium. Add sugar and cook, stirring often to scrape up any browned bits stuck to bottom of pot, 35 to 40 minutes (lower heat, if bottom of pot begins to scorch).
- When done, onions should be deep golden brown and have a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat; season with salt. Let cool completely.

CARAMELIZED ONION PASTA
All you need for this tasty dinner is a bag of onions, garlic, some dried pasta, and cheese. Caramelizing sliced onions in a little butter and olive oil makes them become sweet and yielding, almost luscious. Pasta water and Parmesan do double duty, adding salt and depth while the creamy sauce forms.

Steps:
- Heat oil and butter in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium until butter is melted. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender and deeply golden brown, about 30 minutes. (Stop before the onions become dry and shriveled.) Add red pepper flakes (if using) and 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Remove pot from heat.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta cooking liquid.
- Add pasta and 1 cup pasta cooking liquid to onion mixture and stir to combine. Add a small handful of cheese and stir until melted. Repeat with remaining cheese, adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed to create a glossy sauce that coats the pasta. Stir in parsley (if using).
- Divide pasta among bowls. Top with Parmesan, parsley, and a few cranks of pepper.

Steps:
- Reserve a few sliced scallion greens for garnish.
- Heat a large heavy sauté pan or wok over a medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat the pan. When the oil is hot, add the onions, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until caramelized, 10-12 minutes. Set the onions aside. Reserve the pan.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the beef, scallions, the garlic and 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce and season with pepper. Mix and form gently into 4 patties about ½ inch thick. Make an indentation with your thumb in the middle of each patty.
- Heat the pan over a medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper, transfer to the pan and cook, turning once, for about 4 minutes for medium-rare, 5 minutes for well-done. Transfer the patties to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.
- Return the pan to medium heat, and add the onions. Pour in the stock, bring to a simmer and add the remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry and simmer until the sauce is lightly thickened, about 1 minute . Taste to adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Break the eggs into a bowl. Heat a medium nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, and when hot, gently slide in the eggs.
- Cook for about 1 minute, turn and cook for about 2 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft. (If you prefer your eggs sunny side up, add the eggs, cover, cook for about 1 minute, uncover, then cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft, 2 to 3 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the rice among 4 soup plates or serving bowls, top with the burgers and top with the onions. With a nonmetal spatula, separate the eggs, transfer to the onions, garnish with the reserved scallion greens and serve.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a low heat.
- Add the onions with a generous pinch of salt and cook slowly for 30-40 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning until they become soft and golden. If the onions start to catch, add a splash of water to the pan and mix well.
- Add the sugar and vinegar to give them a sweet, slightly sharp chutney flavour. Keep cooking on a low heat for another 5 mins, stirring occasionally until the mix is sticky, the sugar has dissolved and the vinegar has reduced. The onions are now ready to serve, or use in a recipe.

CARAMELIZED ONIONS
Caramelizing onions transforms them into a savory, almost sweet golden-brown tango. Sweet onions like Vidalia and Oso will carmelize a little faster, but any onion will work. I love caramelized onions as a side-dish for any meat dish or scattered over a pizza. Also good on hamburgers and scrambled eggs. Plus you gotta have them if you want to make French Onion Soup!
