Ingredients
  

  • 2 yellow onions sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Method
 

  1. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add in the onion.
  2. After 10 minutes, add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Cook, stir and scrape the brown bits from time to time for 20-30 minutes more, until onion get a rich brown color. (I like mine to have a little bit of crispy black bits on it as well)
