Recipe information

  • Total Time

    20 minutes

  • Yield

    Makes about 1 cup

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
Salt and pepper
1 rosemary sprig
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the onions, season lightly with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the rosemary and continue cooking the onions until very soft and just starting to brown, about 10 minutes longer.

    Step 2

    Add the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce and cook just until the liquid is mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Remove the rosemary sprig and serve.
