Step by step recipe
| 1 |  | Peel then rinse 500 g onion and cut in half lengthways. | 3 min. |
| 2 |  | Slice the onions thinly. If you have one, a mandolin will make this job a lot quicker. This seems like a lot of onions to begin with, but they will reduce by 2/3 when cooked. |
5 min. |
| 3 |  | Pour 3 tablespoons oil into a large pan on medium heat. When hot, add the onions and mix well. |
1 min. |
| 4 |  | Leave to cook gently until caramelized, stirring from time to time. | 20 min. |
| 5 |  | The onions will gradually brown. | |
| 6 |  | Stop when they are browned to your liking. Salt and pepper to taste... |
Remarks
Once cooked, the onions will need quite a generous amount of salt as the process tends to make them rather sweet.
You can balance this sweetness, which can be a bit excessive at times, by pouring half a glass of dry white wine or 3 tablespoonsful of vinegar into the pan 5 minutes before the end of cooking.
