French green beans with caramalized onions

This side is so yummy! The caramelized onions add so much flavor! We love to make these for holidays and special occasions.

Recipe

2 pounds french green beans

1/2 cup butter

4 large onions

Sea salt and pepper

Place the green beans in a large pot and fill half way with water. Place the lid on the pot and cook until tender. Cut the top of the onions and lay on cut side so the root side is facing up. Cut straight down through the onion. Then lay on side and cut thin half moon shaped slices.

Saute the onions with the butter, sea salt and pepper. Stirring occasionally in the beginning.
