Cebollas caramelizadas al estilo caribeño

Ingredientes

• 1 large Spanish onion (or 5-6 regular onions, yellow, red, white etc..)
• 1 tbsp dairy free butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil (or coconut oil)
• 4 sprigs thyme (stems removed)
• 2 medium tomato (chopped)
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp homemade browning sauce (optional and see recipe for link)
• 1/2 tsp pink salt
• hot sauce to taste

Preparación

1. 1

   Peel the onion(s), slice in half and make vertical slices on both onions halves

2. 2

   On medium heat melt and coat the bottom of a shallow skillet with the dairy free butter and oil.

3. 3

   Add your onions to the pan and proceed to saute them

4. 4

   Evenly distribute the onions in the pan and let them sit for a few minutes before stirring them again. If your stove top cooks quite hot then you may need to adjust the heat to medium-low

5. 5

   After 10 minutes, sprinkle in some pink salt and a splash of browning (if you are using it).

6. 6

   Let the onions cook for about 40 minutes or until they take on a rich brown hue, stirring every few minutes allowing the onions to stick a little so they brown and using a spatula to scrape off that caramelization. If the onions seems like they are burning then replenish with a splash of water and repeat this cycle.

7. 7

   Once the onions have caramelized add the tomatoes, thyme leaves, black pepper, hot sauce.

8. 8

   Let the onions cook down further for another 5-10 minutes
