Caramelized Onion on Your Indoor Grill Recipe

"I discovered this technique by mistake when I was grilling chicken and some vegetables one day on my counter top George Foreman. I realized the onions started to look and smell just like caramelized onions made on the stove top. I have started making my onions this way since then. I love to use it in sandwiches. I usually make one serving for myself, which is how I wrote the recipe. Just up the amount of servings if you wish. "

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Plug in your George Foreman and let it heat up.

Step 2

In the meantime prep your onions - slice them thinly in rings and separate.

Step 3

Toss onions in a bowl with the oil, salt to your taste and brown sugar if using - again, to your taste.

Step 4

Note: I find the sugar makes them brown faster.

Step 5

When the grill is hot enough, use a pair of tongs and place all the onion rings on the grill.

Step 6

Let it grill on one side for about a minute and then start "stirring it" with the pair of tongs.

Step 7

You don't need to constantly "stir them" at the beginning, you can leave it to sit for 30 second intervals. After about 5 minutes you want to pay full attention to it.

Step 8

After 10 minutes on the grill it should be soft and caramelized. But if you want it even more so, grill for 5 more minutes, stirring all the time with the tongs.
