Sauteed Onions

Ingredients

  • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • 8 Tablespoons chicken or vegetable broth, divided
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Peel the outer skin off the onion.
  2. Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the onions.
  3. Let the onions sit for at least 5 minutes before cooking.
  4. Heat 4 tablespoons of the broth in a cast iron pan (or any type of skillet) over medium heat.
  5. As soon as the broth begins to steam, add the sliced onions and cover for 3 minutes.
  6. The onions will release a small amount of liquid.
  7. Uncover, and the remaining 4 tablespoons of broth.
  8. Leave the lid off and cook for another 4 minutes.
  9. Cook for 7 minutes, until the onions are translucent, depending on the thickness of the slices.
  10. For more tender onions, cook for 2 to 3 more minutes longer, uncovered, and stir frequently.
  11. Shut off the heat and while the onions are still hot, stir in the oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
