Caribbean Style Caramelized Onions

Learn how to caramelize onions and cook them up Caribbean style

📝 Ingredients

• 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

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Peel the onion(s), slice in half and make vertical slices on both onions halves
2. 2On medium heat melt and coat the bottom of a shallow skillet with the dairy free butter and oil.
3. 3Add your onions to the pan and proceed to saute them
4. 4Evenly 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. 5After 10 minutes, sprinkle in some pink salt and a splash of browning (if you are using it).
6. 6Let 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. 7Once the onions have caramelized add the tomatoes, thyme leaves, black pepper, hot sauce.
8. 8Let the onions cook down further for another 5-10 minutes
