Any substitutes for caramelized onions?
Never a huge fan of onions to begin with, but lately seem to be experiencing some mild allergic reaction to raw or cooked onions. Found a great recipe that calls for them and would like to sub if possible.

If you have a true allergy or intolerance for onions - as opposed to just a distaste for them - I'd imagine other members of that family (shallots, etc.) might cause the same reaction. I can hardly think of anything more delicious than caramelized onions or shallots, so I hope that's not the case!
Also, onion allergies are rare, but all food allergies should be taken seriously because they can be fatal. Consider seeing an allergist to test if you are truly allergic.
