Cooking onions without carmelization Is there a way to cook onions in recipes that won’t have them release a lot of sugar like cooking them in liquid. I am on a very low carb diet and am not allowed onions as they apparently release too much sugar when Caramelized
Try lightly boiling them in broth or stock.  They won't caramelize (as long as you don't let the liquid evaporate completely); but they will soften and become translucent.
