Caramelized Onions

Ingredients:

• 3 yellow onions
• 4 Tbsp canola oil or olive oil (use what you prefer)

Directions:

1. Cut the onions in half and julienne cut each onion.
2. Separate the slices.
3. Heat a large, wide pan to medium-high heat (skillet works best, not a saucepan).
4. Add oil to the pan. When there is a wisp of smoke, carefully add the onions.
5. Stir periodically for 10 minutes, allowing the onions to color.
6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
7. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook until evenly caramelized for about 15 more minutes.
