Preparation

Step 1

Cook onion and thyme in hot oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat, stirring often, 35-40 minutes or until caramel colored (a deep golden brown). (After about 20 minutes, the onions will begin to turn golden. As you continue to cook, they will deepen in color to a golden brown). Remove from heat; stir in salt

Note: Store cooked onions in a zip-top plastic freezer bag or an airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week or freeze up to 2 months.
