I know that caramelizing onions can be a pain, but this recipe will teach you a shortcut to getting there a little sooner. You’ll first cook them in a covered pot over high heat to steam and collapse the onions, and then uncover them to finish out the caramelizing. It will still require 40 minutes or so, but while they’re going, you’ll grate some cheese and finish your prep. It’s really quite an easy dish to execute beyond that.
