Our family’s ‘Amish Onion Bliss’ – simple but bursting with flavor; it’s everyone’s favorite side!

Step 4: Add Garlic (Optional)

1. About 3–5 minutes before the onions are done, add minced garlic.
2. Stir continuously to prevent burning — the garlic will infuse the onions with a subtle aromatic flavor without overpowering them.

Step 5: Finish and Garnish

1. Once the onions are deeply caramelized and soft, taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
2. Stir in fresh parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
3. For extra richness, a splash of chicken or vegetable broth can be added at this stage, creating a slightly saucy consistency that clings to every bite.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Amish Onion Bliss is versatile and complements many dishes:

• Serve alongside roast chicken, pork tenderloin, or steak for a cozy dinner.
• Mix into mashed potatoes or baked casseroles for added flavor and texture.
• Top grilled vegetables or toast with a spoonful for a simple yet elegant snack.

💡 Tips for Perfect Onion Bliss

• Don’t rush the caramelization: Low and slow cooking is the secret to rich, sweet onions.
• Use a wide skillet: This ensures even cooking and prevents crowding, which can lead to steaming instead of browning.
• Add a splash of acid: A tiny bit of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors.
• Store leftovers: These onions keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They also freeze beautifully for later use.
