Caramelized Onion Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN IN CARAMELIZED ONION SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a 12 inch frying pan, over medium high heat. Stir in the onions. Just stir here and there for the first 5 to 7 minutes.
• Once onions start to brown, stir more frequently. Onions should be browning not blackening. If your onions are getting too dark turn down your heat a bit. If the onions begin to stick to the bottom of the pan, pour a little water in and stir the onions around.
• The onions should be fully caramelized in 12 to 15 minutes. All the onions should be browned with a few black pieces here and there. Remove from heat and set the finished onions aside in a bowl.
• Whisk the flour, garlic powder and seasoning salt together.
• Return the uncleaned frying pan back to the stove and melt the butter to sizzling over medium low heat.
• Coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture on both sides. Shake off the excess. Brown the chicken breasts on both sides in the butter. Place browned pieces of chicken on a plate to the side of the pan.
• Carefully pour a little chicken broth into the frying pan and swirl it around to remove any of the browned, cooked to the bottom bits. Whisk in the remaining broth and bring to a simmer.
• Return the onions to the pan. Return the browned chicken to the pan in single layer. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened. Serve.

CARAMELIZED ONION PASTA

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium until butter is melted. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender and deeply golden brown, about 30 minutes. (Stop before the onions become dry and shriveled.) Add red pepper flakes (if using) and 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Remove pot from heat.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta cooking liquid.
• Add pasta and 1 cup pasta cooking liquid to onion mixture and stir to combine. Add a small handful of cheese and stir until melted. Repeat with remaining cheese, adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed to create a glossy sauce that coats the pasta. Stir in parsley (if using).
• Divide pasta among bowls. Top with Parmesan, parsley, and a few cranks of pepper.

CARAMELIZED ONION SAUCE

Steps:

• Place a large heavy kettle over medium heat and heat the oil. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are greatly reduced in volume and golden in color, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. (Lower the heat toward the end of cooking if the onions stick to the bottom of the pot.)
• Add the wine, thyme and walnuts to the pan and continue to cook until all the liquid has evaporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with grilled meat, fish or pasta.

PASTA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven or wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until they are lightly browned and they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir well, then add the onions, paprika, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally (more frequently toward the end), until the onions are golden and very tender, about 30 minutes, reducing the heat to medium during the last 10 minutes so the onions don't burn.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 1/2 cups cooking water, then drain. Add the pasta, 3/4 cup cooking water, the sour cream and vinegar to the mushroom-onion mixture. Toss until the pasta is well coated and slightly saucy, gradually adding the remaining cooking water as needed.
• Add about half each of the parsley, dill and chives to the pasta and toss; season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and top with the remaining parsley, dill and chives.

CARAMELISED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a low heat.
• Add the onions with a generous pinch of salt and cook slowly for 30-40 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning until they become soft and golden. If the onions start to catch, add a splash of water to the pan and mix well.
• Add the sugar and vinegar to give them a sweet, slightly sharp chutney flavour. Keep cooking on a low heat for another 5 mins, stirring occasionally until the mix is sticky, the sugar has dissolved and the vinegar has reduced. The onions are now ready to serve, or use in a recipe.
