Saw this dry pan method on another site, tried it and poof, super easy and much quicker....
To make caramelized onions, place sliced onions in a dry pan over medium-high heat and cover with a lid.
Check and stir regularly, until a good amount of color has developed, about 5-7 minutes. Deglaze your pan using the 1/4 cup of water, stir the onions well and be sure to scrape up the brown bits that have collected on the bottom of the pan. Once the water has cooked off, add 1 tbsp olive oil and salt and continue to cook the onions about another 5 minutes. When finished, the onions should have a nice deep dark brown color and a sweet smell.
