    1 large yellow onion, 1 tbsp oil or butter of choice
  • Rinse, dry, and slice your mushrooms.
    8 ounces baby bella or white mushrooms
  • Continue to sautee the onions over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a spatula or wooden spoon, until the onion starts to brown around the edges.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and mix well, so that the mushrooms are evenly distributed throughout the onion slices.
  • Leave the onions and mushrooms over medium heat for 5-8 minutes without stirring to allow for caramelizing process to occur.
  • Once the onions and mushrooms are golden brown on the bottom, stir a couple of times to turn them, and cook for another 5 minutes or so, allowing them to caramelize on both sides.
  • Add salt to taste (optional) and serve hot as a side or topping to any savory dish!
    ¼ teaspoon salt

Notes

  • Use 1 tablespoon of butter or oil per 1 onion and 8 ounces mushrooms. If you are halving the recipe, use 2 teaspoons of oil or butter.
  • To reheat, just add the caramelized onions and mushrooms back to your frying pan over medium heat until they are heated completely through, about 5-8 minutes.
