How to Caramelize Onion – Green Beans & Caramelized Red Onions
Here is a nice side dish for Thanksgiving in lieu of green bean casserole. It is absolutely delicious and quite easy to make. It is also a lot healthier. Here is what you are going to need for this:
2 medium red onions, finely sliced
1 pound green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 cup Balsamic vinegar
Salt & Pepper
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet. Add the onions and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, until dark brown, stirring occasionally. Add remaining butter, sugar and vinegar. Cook for a few minutes until vinegar dries up.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans. Bring water back to a boil and cook green beans for 4 minutes. Drain and run under very cold water to stop the cooking process.
Move the onions to one side of your skillet. Add the green beans and season with salt & pepper. Mix in with the onions and serve. Enjoy
