This is how you make the perfect braised onions: a guide to first-class toppings. Braised onions are onions that have been caramelized through slow cooking over low heat, developing a delicious sweetness and an intense aroma.
Yellow or white onions are best suited for braising onions, as they have a mild taste and become sweet when stewed. Red onions should be avoided as their intense flavor and color can affect the final result. The right consistency of caramelized onions is soft and slightly caramelized without being overcooked or dark.
