Onion Lovers’ Caramelized Onions, A full page picture accompanied this recipe in the LA Times showing these onions atop steak We just ate it smeared on good bread — delicious! It is time consuming, but worth it And your house will smell heavenly if you love onions!, I’m an onion fanatic, but I’m afraid these just didn’t do it for me They did turn very brown, but were actually bitter I found that kind of strange, as onions usually turn sweeter the longer they are cooked I don’t know if maybe it’s from the olive oil or not I usually do my onions in either butter or margarine, so that might have made a difference to me They were extremely oily, and I had to drain them on a wad of papertowels I wonder if the same result could be accomplished with a reduced amount of oil Thanks for sharing your recipe Julie I think I’ll give it another go, but reduce the oil Made for Spring PAC 2009 , A full page picture accompanied this recipe in the LA Times showing these onions atop steak We just ate it smeared on good bread — delicious! It is time consuming, but worth it And your house will smell heavenly if you love onions!
