How To Make caramelized onion sauce

  • 1
    In a large frying pan, melt the butter with the oil over medium-high heat; add the sliced onions then sprinkle the sugar over the onions; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until the onions start to darken and become tender.
  • 2
    Lower the heat; sprinkle the onions with flour and stir into the onions. Gradually add the milk or broth (I use water with bouillon) and stir into the onion mixture. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens.
  • 3
    Stir in the herbs and seasonings. Sprinkle with cheese (if using) and stir until it melts.
