The butter 'trick' is just browning the butter (which happens faster than onions) to add deep color and extra flavor to sauteed onions. For some bizarre reason the author interpreted this as blasting onions and olive oil at high heat until they were a charred mess, and then goes on to blame recipe writers for why they can't seem to cook onions. What a strange article.
- GeneralMayhem 3y agoIf it's just browning the butter, it's not really caramelizing the onions. I could get brown onions with any number of coloring agents, but it's not the same thing.
- pierat 3y agoWhen the butter solids brown (and blacken) that's burning the solids in butter. Separating those from the clear golden liquid is how you make ghee. Again, times given are stupid ridiculous.
