Recipe: Caramelized Onions and Onion Butter (crock pot)

Side Dishes - Assorted
CARAMELIZED ONIONS

"Serve these delicate cooked onions as a side dish or as a pizza topping. Or toss them with pasta, shredded Asiago cheese, and fresh herbs. The onions also make a fantastic addition to risotto. Use the skimmed onion-scented butter to flavor stocks or stews, or to spread over toasted slices of French or Italian bread. To ensure the maximum flavor, cook the onions the full 24 hours."

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
3 pounds Vidalia or other sweet onions (about 4 medium), peeled

Place butter and whole onions in an electric slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low-heat setting 24 hours.

Remove onions from slow cooker with a slotted spoon. Use as desired; refrigerate leftover onions.

FOR THE ONION BUTTER:
Pour cooking liquid into a bowl. Cover and chill. Skim solidified fat from surface; reserve for another use. Discard liquid.

Makes 4 servings (serving size: about 1 onion)
