Hi Everyone,
A couple of weeks ago I was telling you about sweating onions, well this week, it is about caramelizing the alliums.
Pickled, baked, fried, grilled, roasted, sautéed, stuffed, sweated, or raw, onions are delicious. While in most cases they are a part of an entire dish, when caramelized, onions are the star and the main ingredient. It is the main application in which the natural flavour of the onion is extracted and concentrated. Tender and sweet yet retaining savoury notes, caramelized onions are a treat!
To caramelize onions is to cook them low and slow until they turn brown, tender and candy-sweet. It is not a fast food and by that I mean that it is
