Remember, it takes at least 45 minutes to caramelize an onion. If you're doing it for less than 45 minutes, then you're just cooking it.
45 minus to fully caramelize.
If you don't want them that dark you don't have to cook them that long.
Sure, you can use non-caramelized onions. You just won't get that sweetness.
Just add more sugar.
What kind of hooligan adds sugar
Saves times and gives the sweet taste. If someone doesn't want to do it for 45 minutes then yeah
But it keeps the the sour and bitter tastes in. Caramelizing replaces most of those with sweet.
Sour and bitter can be good though. I love fresh onion as is. I ghetto caramelize it a bit to make it more palatable to my girlfriend though. For that you don't need to do a proper caramelization, getting the process going and adding a bit of sugar is enough.
I love to add vinegar too though. Vinegar, a bit of sugar, a bit of salt, some time on the pan, delish.
Bitter is great. But at some point it ceases to be caramelized onions.
They've been caramelized some but not all the way, dunno where it'd draw the line at least when cooking at home
You don’t need to stick to stupid things such as labels at home. Do whatever you want. On the web, though… you’ll have the swift justice of the FOOD PURISTS VIGILANTES! (We’re still workshopping that name.)
I honestly add a touch of brown sugar and I guess I’ve been doing it wrong according to these comments.
