Burger van onions?

[ChevronB19]

How do I make them?

Are they boiled then fried, or what?

Help me, I have a craving, I’m nowhere near a suitable van but have plenty of onions…

Caramelised ones?

The way I do them is put in a frying pan with some oil, fry on really high heat for about 2 mins till you start to get bits of the onions going golden then pour in a small quantity of water and continue to cook on high heat till all the water has gone. You end up with soft onions with a golden colour (mostly).

It works best if you dice the onion rather than slice.

this is what i do. youre basically using a splash of water every minute or so and deglazing. its much quicker than people who low & slow it for 40min.

Frozen diced onions from Tesco, wack them in the air fryer 5 minutes before you need them ( when the airfryer is hot)

Yes you can normally get them looking good in 2 or 3 "rounds" so to speak of adding the water and getting back to dry. You can also put a lid on towards the end to make them even more soft.

I do these onions when I have sausages or burgers. Always use large white onions, cut in half, medium/fine slices. Put some olive oil in a pan, get it up to medium heat, onions in with a little salt. Put the lid on. When they start making a noise, give them a regular stir. When they start to colour, put a little water in, put the lid on. When they start to soften, add a dash of balsamic and stir. When ready they should be a medium brown colour, definitely not burnt at all, because this will make them bitter.
