Best 6 Almond Glazed Onions Recipes

GREEN BEANS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Fill a large high sided skillet with some water, adding enough to be just shy of the rim of the pan by about 1 inch. Place over high heat and bring up to boil; add a big pinch of salt and the green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes, the beans should still be crisp. Drain the beans and then run them under some cold water to stop them from cooking. Reserve the beans while you start the onions.
• Return the skillet you cooked the beans in to the cook top over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast stirring every now and then until golden, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the almonds from the skillet and reserve. Return the skillet to the heat and add the butter and olive oil and heat until the butter has melted. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook stirring frequently until the onions caramelize, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the thyme, and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the cooked cooled green beans and almonds, and stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

GLAZED PEARL ONIONS WITH RAISINS AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add onions, and cook 3 minutes to loosen skins. Drain, and cool slightly. Cut root ends from onions. Squeeze onions at stem end (onions will slip out of skins). If using frozen pearl onions, skip this step and simply defrost them.
• Combine pearl onions, sherry, raisins, honey, water, butter and thyme in a heavy large skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid evaporates and onions begin to caramelize, stirring often, about 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove from heat and stir in almonds and vinegar. Add a few teaspoons of water if mixture is too dry. Serve warm.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SPICY RHUBARB GLAZE AND GRILLED SPRING ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and rhubarb and cook until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the pomegranate juice, honey, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree. Strain and reserve.
• Heat a grill pan or grill over medium heat. Spread the spring onions in a single layer on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle with smoked salt and pepper; toss to coat. Grill the spring onions, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Rub the pork with salt and pepper and the remaining tablespoon oil. Place the pork on a sheet pan fitted with a rack. Roast the pork for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Brush the pork on all sides with the glaze and return to the oven. Continue to roast, repeating the basting twice, until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, about 40 minutes. Baste again when it comes out of the oven.
• Let the pork rest for 10 minutes. Slice the pork into medallions. Brush some glaze on the plate and arrange the medallions on the glaze. Serve with the onions. Garnish with the almonds, mint and more smoked salt.
