Roasted Onions, Momofuku-Style
thinly sliced onions
This recipe reminded me why I love cooked onions so much: that sweet, melty, carmelized oozy flavour really does make everything better!

Slice up a couple of onions, heat up your cast-iron skillet and pan fry the onions on high for 5 minutes without moving them, then turn the heat down and slow-roast, while keeping the onions moving, for another 20 minutes or so.

The recipe suggests roasting for 50 minutes, but it only took me about 20 to achieve the “texture that’s just this side of mushy.”

They’re really good, so if you don’t make them for the kimchi stew, make them to eat right out of the pan, which is what Mike and I did before I realized that we needed to stop or we wouldn’t have enough for the stew.

My husband thinks “onions cause cancer” and will only eat them when they are cooked. I like the way this one takes it’s time. My only problem, no cast iron skillet. Good reason to go shopping I suppose.
You can do the onions in a regular skillet, they’ll taste just as delicious. When you cook them like this they end up so sweet!
