[Cook] Caramelized Onions

One of the practice on "How to Cut Using a Chef's Knife" lesson on Rouxbe is to slice onions. Of course you don't want the onion to go to waste. So there is a recipe to make Caramelized Onions.


Caramelized Onions

It took me two hours to make those Caramelized Onions, but it was well worth it.




I only had non-stick saute pan at home. But I kept on reading about how stainless steel pan is much better. I was at T.J. Maxx and saw the $100 Cuisinart MultiClad Pro Saute Pan for only $50. So I brought one home. Caramelized Onions would be the first dish I cook in this new pan.



It took me a while to slice 12 onions.



Oil and salt is all you need to make onions turn sweet. Not sugar, but salt. I don't know how, but that just the way it works. The recipe said it takes about 45 minutes to one hour for the onions to become caramelized, but it took me probably about 1 hour and 30 minutes.



That night I served the caramelized onions with bacon wrapped filet mignon. It was soooooo good. The sweetness of the onions paired so well with the saltiness of bacon for some reason. The side was leftover Greek Salad from the night before, and twice baked potato.



The next morning I made a breakfast sandwich with egg (with green onion), roast beef, mayo, and of course the caramelized onions.



Dr. P loved the sandwich so much that he said I should open a shop and sell this sandwich. Caramelized onions really turn something ordinary into something extraordinary. There's just something about the sweet and savory combination that make food tastes so good.
