My Grandma’s Secret to Perfect Caramelized Onions
Growing up, I always watched my grandma work her magic in the kitchen. The one thing I could never get right was her perfectly caramelized onions—golden, sweet, and never burnt. I’d impatiently crank up the heat, only to end up with a bitter, charred mess. One rainy afternoon, I finally asked her for her secret. She smiled and said, “Patience, and a little love.”
She taught me to slice the onions thin, sprinkle a pinch of salt, and let them sweat on low heat. The trick was to stir gently, every few minutes, letting the sugars slowly break down. It took nearly an hour, but the result was magical: rich, jammy onions that transformed any dish. Now, whenever I cook, I remember her gentle hands and the warmth of her kitchen. It’s not just about the onions—it’s about slowing down and savoring the process.
