Unlock the Flavor of Slow-Cooked Onions
When it comes to cooking onions, patience is a virtue. With a mere 10 minutes of active time, you can transform humble onions into a sweet and savory masterpiece. The result? A French onion dip that’s sure to impress.
The Magic of Slow Cooking
By slow-cooking onions for 7 to 9 hours, you’ll unlock a depth of flavor that’s simply unparalleled. The once-pungent onions will morph into a tender, caramelized delight that’s perfect for dipping. And the best part? You can easily double the recipe and freeze half for future gatherings.
No Slow Cooker? No Problem!
Don’t have a slow cooker? Fear not! You can still achieve that coveted caramelized flavor by sautéing the onions in a large pan or Dutch oven over low heat for just 1 hour. The key is to cook them low and slow, allowing the natural sugars to emerge.
