Caramelized Onions
(from kylerhea’s recipe box)
“I am deeply, madly in love with onions. Caramelizing them adds another dimension of richness that further enhances their many uses. Caramelized onions can be used as a stuffing for ravioli, swirled into risotto, or simply used as a condiment to accompany almost any roasted meat or vegetable.
You can substitute leeks for a somewhat different but equally delicious flavor.”
