Caramelized Onions

Caramelized onions are my new favorite thing to have on hand.  They are incredibly easy to make, keep fairly well in the fridge and are a delicious topping for so many things.  This week our CSA basket delivered 2 large onions so I caramelized a big batch and plan on eating them through out the week on:
- sandwiches
- salads
- in skillets with potatoes, eggs, and tomatoes
- on top of flatbread
- in bruschetta
- warmed over brie cheese as an appetizer with some good crackers


Ingredients:
- onion
- olive oil

Directions:
- slice an onion into discs and use your fingers to separate them out into individual pieces
- heat a non-stick pan on high for about 1 minute
- add a couple teaspoons of olive oil and turn the heat down to low
- cook the onions on low until they turn a light brown color.  By this time they will have reduced down in size and their flavor will condensed to be sweet and mild.
- eat warm from the pan or store in the fridge to be reheated throughout the week

Enjoy!
