BaÂ·sidÂ·iÂ·oÂ·myÂ·coÂ·ta. A phylum of fungi characterized by a spore-bearing organ, the basidium, that is usually a clavate cell that bears basidiospores after karyogamy and meiosis. Some mycologists have raised the class Basidiomycetes to the phylum or division level.
Add the onions to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook until they begin to turn dark brown and somewhat soft, about 5 minutes. Add the oil and a pinch of the fine sea salt; continue cooking until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes longer.. Soft, dark brown onions in five minutes. That is a lie. Fully caramelized onions in five minutes more.
It all works, and their transformative power is surprising in the best way. Caramelized onions are traditionally done stove-top, in a skillet over long, low heat, but the slow cooker, with its âthrow it in and forget itâ vibe, does a very nice job on them, too, with far less time needed to directly tend them.
