Slow-cooked red onions are borderline magical. How does so much flavor come from such a humble ingredient? You'll want to put these sweet and spicy onion slices on burgers, sausages, or in cheesy quiches.

serves/makes:

ready in:
2-5 hrs

ingredients

4 large red onions, quartered
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup water or chicken stock
salt and pepper, to taste
hot pepper sauce, to taste

directions

Add the onions to the crock pot. Drizzle the olive oil over them evenly then sprinkle with oregano. Stir gently to mix. Carefully pour the water in the bottom of the crock pot (trying not to wash off the oregano). Sprinkle with salt and pepper as desired.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until the onions are soft.

Adjust seasoning as needed and add hot sauce to taste.

Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.
