Caramelized Onions

I have been working with different additions to the onions, which changes the flavor of the onions entirely. One Sunday afternoon I cooked these caramelized onions 12 different ways.

Yield: 1/2 c

1 c onion, sliced or wedged thin
1 tsp olive oil
1/8 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1/4 tsp salt

1 T wine, vinegar, juice (opt)*

Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally until golden brown. Approx. 10 minutes. Add seasonings and optional flavoring, cooking 2 more minutes.

Top Garlic Green Beans, toss in a Wilted Spinach Salad or garnish Onion Soup with these tasty onions.

* Marsala wine, Cabernet Sauvignon, whiskey, Sherry, Ver Juice (frozen white grape "juice"), pomegranate juice, orange juice, Worcestershire sauce, Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Ortalli 4-leaf balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, rosemary oil
