Scale
Ingredients
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil: Pour the olive oil into a skillet and warm it over medium heat until it shimmers to prepare for sautéing.
- Sauté the onions: Add the thinly sliced onions to the hot skillet. Cook them, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until they are softened and beginning to turn translucent.
- Add seasonings and pomegranate molasses: Stir in the pomegranate molasses along with the salt and black pepper, distributing these ingredients evenly to coat the onions.
- Simmer and caramelize: Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the onions gently for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally, allowing the onions to caramelize slowly, becoming glossy and richly flavored by the pomegranate molasses.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced onions for even cooking and best caramelization.
- Stir occasionally while simmering to prevent sticking and burning.
- Pomegranate molasses adds a sweet and tangy depth; substitute with balsamic vinegar or tamarind paste in a pinch.
- Serve warm as a side dish or as a topping for meats, salads, or flatbreads.
