Cooking Onions

  3. Cook gently, stirring often, for about 20-30 minutes, until the onions are soft and begin to caramelize.
  4. Add the remaining salt and continue cooking for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring until the onions are deep golden brown.

Patience is key! Stir often and don’t rush the process; let those onions work their magic. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
