Caramelized onions (Karamelizovan crni luk)

A sweet and salty addition that transforms simple dishes into true gourmet specialties. By slow simmering at a moderate temperature, onions lose their spiciness and develop a caramelized taste and silky texture. It goes well with burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, pies and various stews, giving them a distinctive flavor.

Preparation time: 10 minutes.

Cooling time: 15-20 minutes.

Preparation

1. Peel the onions. Cut in half and cut into thin crescents.

3. Reduce the temperature to low (2 out of 6) and continue frying for 20-25 minutes. Stir every few minutes so that the onion does not burn.

4. When the onion starts to turn golden brown, add sugar and water. Stir well. Continue frying for another 5-10 minutes, stirring often, until the onion becomes completely soft, shiny and caramelized.
