Notes:
For best onion flavor, carmalize the onions to create a rich creamy texture and milk flavor without the punch bite of sauteed onions--plus produces an appealing golden caramel color. To do this: In skillet cook thinly sliced onions in butter or olive oil (about 2 Tbs per pound of onions) over low heat 30-40 minutes or until golden in color and softened, stirring occasionally. Unlike sauteing (cooking quickly over high heat), this low-and-slow method allows for the release of the natural sugars in the onions, which is perfect for these savory-sweet bites.
