And they saute up, just like white onions? The reason I'm asking is because I like red onions on my burger raw, but sometimes i like white onions on my burger grilled, and I was wondering if I grill red onions and put them on my burger, would work like whiter ones.
I use the red onions like yellow or white, sauteed they turn darker with the purple color and sometimes don't look so pretty...I use them in slices grilled for burgers or whatever, put on skewers....even if I saute with mushrooms or peppers, I do it lightly as I prefer more crunch than mush
My wife sautees down about two big red onions until they are about 1/4 in volume then adds to 32oz of sour cream for an onion dip. Out of this world good. These are monster Stockton Early Reds.
What are the onions sauteed in? Olive oil, butter?
If you want to caramelize them, start with olive oil, and put butter in after the onions have given up all their h20, and it has evaporated, towards the end.
Its a long, slow process, but soooooo worth it!
Same process to start onion soup.

The onions are sauteed in just enough EVOO to keep from burning on the bottom of the pan. When the Onions are done breaking down she puts in a little white wine, some no salt butter and one-two cloves of crushed garlic. Lets the wine cook down until the onions are no longer wet but just a little moist. The she cools them off in a mesh strainer to remove the excess oil. She mashes the onions up once cool and adds to pure sour cream. None of that stuff with all the additives. Adjust amount of onion mixture to sour cream ratio depending on taste, we like it with a strong onion flavor. We love it with Granny Goose Dip chips.
Enjoy.
