Tears of Joy

Onions are an amazing vegetable. They are good raw in a salad or on a burger, if you want that sharp tanginess. However, if you apply some heat to onions, something amazing happens; the water evaporates and the all the natural sugars come out and then brown. After a little time, you get something sweet and savory. Speaking of sweet and savory, there are two more ingredients in this concoction that will add a little extra of that delicious umami flavor; balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.

Throw these onions on my Garlic Naan Pizza as a topping, in a salad, on a sandwich. Whatever. They go on everything.
