Caramelised Onions

I love caramelised onions. Like, crazy love. Their rich sweet/savoury combination is really something else. And they are so much better homemade. I will make a large batch of caramelised onions and kind of overdose on them every once in a while. 
Caramelised onion and feta quiche is my all-time favourite, Caramelised onion and feta pizza is also fantastic, and I use them on burgers, or in Bolognese or you can just top a steak with them. I also simply love them on a platter with crackers and cheese. ​

​​Ingredients Required:
500g red onions
1 tablespoon (20g) butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Directions to Cook:
Peel and cut onions in half lengthwise. Cut into thin (3mm) slices.
Melt butter and olive oil over low-medium heat in heavy based frypan.
Sauté onions for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning. Add balsamic vinegar and stir while sizzling. Add brown sugar and stir through until dissolved. Reduce heat and cook, stirring, for an extra 10 minutes until onions are rich brown in colour.
Remove pan from heat and allow onions to cool in pan (onions will thicken slightly on standing).
