*For caramelized onions, cut a small onion in half and slice thinly. Melt 1/2 teaspoon butter in a skillet. Add onion slices, a pinch each of salt and sugar; cook and stir over medium-high heat about 5 minutes or until the onion begins to brown. Add 1 tablespoon water and continue cooking on medium-low heat 10 to 15 minutes or until the onion is a deep golden brown.
