I found this on Twitter. It is true! A recipe does actually exist in which they are truthful about how long it actually takes to caramelize onions:
"Uncover the pot, raise the heat slightly and stir in salt — I start with 2 to 3 teaspoons of kosher salt. Cook onions, stirring every 5 minutes (you might be fine checking in less often in the beginning, until the point when the water in the onions has cooked off) for about 40 to 90 minutes longer. Onions are caramelized when they’re an even, deep golden brown, sweet and tender. Add sherry and scrape up any onions stuck to the pan, then simmer it until it disappears and you’re swatting strangers who crept in, enticed by the aroma, out of your kitchen."
The recipe is from https://smittenkitchen.com/2021/12/s...ib-onion-soup/ which actually does sound very tasty.
