A time consuming recipe, because of the caramelized onions. I wanted to present a recipe with the correct way to prepare the onions. However, if you want to speed this recipe up. You have options:
Grilled Onions: Offer a short cooking time; yet taste great.
Short Cut Caramelized Onions: Add sugar and a little water to onions, to speed up the cooking process.
Make Ahead Caramelized Onions: Prepare onions ahead of time. Convenient, and ready, when you are.
