Caramelized Onions in CrockPot
I am new to this device and usually make these in the winter on top of the stove or all day in a slow oven
but, man it sure is groovy not heating up a summer kitchen.
Y'all like Onion Soup ? This is the stuff.
Y'all like that onion soup mix in sour cream or cream cheese for a Dip ? TRY These !!!
Take my advise and make these in the day
otherwise you will be getting up all night to eat some, it smells so good.
.Recipe from Epicurious
Makes 3 1/2 cups cooking Time: 12 to 14 hours on LOW
Slow Cooker Size: 4 quart
An added bonus is the heady broth you end up with, which can be used in other dishes along with the onions.
Cook a very long time until they are a deep mahogany color.
ingredients
3 pounds yellow Onions , peeled and cut into 1/8-inch-thick to 1/4-inch-thick slices or diced if using in a dip
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter (see Note) Sazerac uses Olive Oil and less than 8 tablespoons.
preparation
Place the onions and butter in the slow cooker, cover, and cook on LOW for 12 to 14 hours, until the onions are deep brown and very soft.
It's almost impossible to overcook these; make sure to let the onions cook until they are mahogany colored.
notes:
Sazerac cooks these on high when at home
If you have a large slow cooker, you can double the onions. It is not necessary to increase the amount of butter.
Sazerac has a small cooker and just stuffs onions to the top and oils them up a little.
Don't blanch at the amount of butter called for here. When you drain and chill the onions, the onion-flavored butter will congeal on the surface of the cooking liquid.
Skim it and use it when you sauté other vegetables, over pasta, or in risotto
