Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 lbs yellow onions quartered and very thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Freshly ground pepper

  • When the grill is up to temperature, melt the butter with the olive oil in the pan. Add the onions and 2 teaspoons of salt.
  • Stir, then close the grill and cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until the onions are very soft and dark brown, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Stir in the thyme and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat, add a fresh grinding of pepper, and allow the onions to cool.
