Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

15 cipollini onions
Extra-virgin olive oil
About 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup honey
1/2 bunch thyme, leaves removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Add the onions to a large bowl, cover with hot water and allow to sit for about 5 minutes. This is to help make peeling the onions much easier. Strain onions and peel.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, honey, thyme, salt and pepper until combined. Put the onions in a large bowl, pour the dressing over them and toss well to coat.
  • In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add about 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat. Once hot, add the onions. Next place the saute pan into the preheated oven and roast for 18 to 20 minutes until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized.

SHERRY VINEGAR-GLAZED ONIONS



Sherry Vinegar-Glazed Onions image

Traditional creamed onions and buttery glazed onions are perfectly nice, but the sparky tang of vinegar makes this version of the classic much more appealing. The sweet-and-sour flavors are a great foil for the rich, starchy dishes on a Thanksgiving table. Any leftovers can be chopped up to make a lively addition to winter stews and chunky soups.

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons neutral oil, like canola or grapeseed
1 pound small peeled onions, about 1 inch in diameter, red or white or a combination (frozen onions are fine)
1/2 cup sherry vinegar or apple cider vinegar
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Honey or maple syrup to taste
Finely minced parsley, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a wide skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium heat until bubbling. Add onions and sauté over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, gently rolling the onions about so they will brown as evenly as possible.
  • Pour in vinegar and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and simmer very gently until onions are perfectly tender but retain their shape. Start testing with a thin sharp knife after 15 minutes; depending on size, the onions may cook in 15 to 25 minutes. (Frozen onions will cook faster.) Taste one to make sure it is completely tender all the way through; do not undercook.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer onions to a serving bowl. (Onions may be prepared up to this point 2 days ahead. Reserve onions and cooking liquid separately. Reheat onions in reserved liquid, adding water as needed, then transfer them to a bowl.)
  • Raise heat and boil liquid to reduce it to a thick glaze. Taste and add salt, pepper and sweetener to taste. Stir in parsley and serve hot or warm.
