Caramelized Onions

Source: The Toronto Star


2 tbsp olive oil
4 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
salt to taste
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, optional

Heat oil in large skillet.  Add onions and garlic.  Reduce heat to medium
and cook a few minutes without stirring to allow onions on the bottom to
brown a little.  Stir and cook 5 minutes longer, until onions are evenly
golden and wilted.  Sprinkle with sugar and vinegar.  Cook about 10 minutes,
until onions are browned, tender and very fragrant.  Season to taste with
salt.  Stir in parsley (if desired.)

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Makes about 1 cup.
