It is preferable to slice them into fairly thick slices, so that they do not dry out.<\/p>\n<h2>Butter and Olive Oil<\/h2>\n<p>We use butter for the caramelizing of onions, but in modesty: butter has a tendency to \u201cburn.\u201d In order to caramelize onions properly, meaning they are soft and not fried, we mix butter with olive oil, which is not as easily burnt. We can also only use olive oil if we\u2019d prefer.<\/p>\n<h2>The more onions, the slower the process<\/h2>\n<p>If we place many onions in our frying pan, they will begin to fume, which will slow the caramelizing process. A 30cm diameter pan can fit 2 large onions.<\/p>\n<h2>Low heat<\/h2>\n<p>Proper onion caramelization lasts approximately one hour (45+ minutes.) It is necessary for the heat to remain low for the entire time so that the onions can exude all of their aroma. It is best for onions to be added after the pan has been heated and not during the heating process.<\/p>\n<h2>Flavor on the bottom of the pan<\/h2>\n<p>The onions that have stuck to the bottom of the pan are also very tasty! Depending on the dish we are preparing, we can \u201cunstick\u201d the onions using wine, beer or Regular or Balsamic Vinegar Top, or stock.<\/p>\n<h2>They are ready when dark brown<\/h2>\n<p>Our onions are properly caramelized when they have a dark brown color, not light brown or \u201cblonde.\u201d Soft, delicious, ready for our recipe!<\/p>\n<p>Caramelized onions are stored in the refrigerator in an air-tight utensil.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>When the onions start to stick to the pan, we leave them on the heat until brown.<\/li>\n<li>We do not frequently stir, because they will not caramelize (they will merely turn into a light brown color).<\/li>\n<li>Before removing them from the pan, we lightly salt them or, optionally, pour some sugar on top of them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Recipes that pair well with caramelized onions<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/minervahorio.gr\/en\/recipe\/chicken-with-caramelized-onions\/\"><strong>Chicken with caramelized onions<\/strong> <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/minervahorio.gr\/en\/recipe\/beer-bread-with-feta-or-graviera-cheese\/\"><strong>Beer Bread with Feta or Graviera Cheese<\/strong> <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/minervahorio.gr\/en\/?p=4770\"><strong>Recipes with Horio Graviera Cheese<\/strong> <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/minervahorio.gr\/en\/?p=6571\"><strong>Omelet Recipes<\/strong> <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/minervahorio.gr\/en\/?p=5117\"><strong>Pizza recipes from Horio<\/strong> <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How many times have we seen in a recipe \u201ccaramelized onions\u201d and have wondered what technique gives the best outcome?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12949,"featured_media":7006,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[794,800],"tags":[722],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The perfect caramelized onions<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Soft and brown, on pizza, potatoes, burgers, caramelized onions are easier to make than you think.
