Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 pounds yellow onions, sliced 1/2-inch-thick (8 cups)

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add onions, butter, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the bowl of a multicooker; stir to combine. Secure the lid and adjust vent to seal. Cook on high "Pressure Cook" setting for 5 minutes. Once cycle is complete, immediately release pressure. Carefully remove lid.
