How to Make Caramelized Onions with Bacon
Sticky, sweet slowed cooked onions flavoured with smoky bacon and tangy balsamic vinegar.
Step 1:
Peel, half and thinly slice a large red onion (about 450g). Cut three strips of peppered or regular bacon into small cubes. Set bacon in a skillet and fry over medium heat until crispy.
Step 2:
Lift bacon out of skillet with a slotted spoon and set on plate. Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil to the bacon fat in the skillet. Add the onions, turn heat to medium-low and cook until quite tender, about 10 minutes. Mix cooked bacon and 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar into the onions.
Step 3:
Remove onions from heat and serve warm or at room temperature on or with such things as burgers, hot dogs and sausages.
