How to Make Asparagus With Caramelized Onions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 cups of thinly sliced onions and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden brown.
- While the onions caramelize, snap off the tough ends of 1 pound of asparagus.
- Add 1 cup of water to the skillet with the onions and bring to a boil.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the asparagus to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until asparagus is tender-crisp.
- Drain any excess liquid from the skillet.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, and a pinch of black pepper into the caramelized onions.
- Add the cooked asparagus to the skillet and toss gently to coat everything in the balsamic glaze.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
