Caramelized Onions With Balsamic Vinegar (Low Fat)

Submitted by Abby Girl

"You don't need a lot of fat to make a great dish. These onions are wonderful over steaks, chops, hamburgers, pizzas, inside quesadillas, on top of brushetta, in frittatas and omelettes or beaten into mashed potatoes. You can double the batch, but cook the onions in two large skillets or they will not brown properly. Freeze leftovers in smaller containers."
