You often see recipes for caramelized onions saying it only takes a few minutes. Those recipes lie. You can brown onions quickly, but to really caramelize them and bring out the sweetness takes time. The time it takes is well worth it. At the end you will have a savory and sweet pile of caramelized onions that you can add to vegetable broth for a French Onion Soup, use a a topping for pizza, or put on a sandwich. You can make these omitting the flour and sherry at the end, but if you plan on using them for a soup, the flour and sherry are a must. Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 1 hour Yield: about 2 cups Ingredients: 2 TBL vegan butter 1 TBL vegetable oil 5 large onions (about 3 lb.), halved and thinly sliced ½ tsp. salt 2 Tbs. all-purpose flour* ⅓ cup dry sherry*
