Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat until melted and combined.
2
Add the sliced onions and salt. Stir to coat evenly.
3
Cook the onions slowly over low heat, stirring every few minutes, until they become soft, deeply golden, and caramelized. This usually takes 30–40 minutes.
4
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, drizzle the balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar over the onions and stir well to coat.
5
Taste and adjust salt if needed.
