Directions
1
Add water to the sliced onions in a skillet.
2
Crank up the heat to bring the water to a boil.
3
Once the water boils, pop a lid on the skillet to trap the steam and allow the onions to wilt and cook for about 10 minutes.
4
After 10 minutes, ditch the lid to allow the water to evaporate, cooking the onions and causing them to exude their juices.
5
Turn the heat down to medium-high to prevent scorching.
6
Stir frequently to ensure even browning of the onions.

Tips
Adding water helps the onions wilt faster by steaming them.
Trapping steam with a lid helps the onions cook and exude their juices.
The juices contain sugars and amino acids necessary for browning.
Stir frequently to ensure even browning and prevent scorching.
