Balsamic-Glazed Pearl Onions image

Categories     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, divided
2 package 14.5 ounce pkg frozen pearl onions, thawed and drained
2 tablespoons Sugar
1/3 cup Balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup Water, as needed
3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
2 tablespoons Chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sugar; cook 2 minutes. Stir in vinegar. Cover, reduce heat, and cook 25 minutes, adding up to 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if pan seems dry. Stir in remaining 1/2 Tbsp butter, salt,and pepper. Stir in parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Onions: Medium-sized yellow or sweet onions work best for this recipe, as they have a good balance of flavor and texture. Red onions can also be used, but they may have a slightly more pungent flavor.
  • Slice Onions Evenly: Cut the onions into thin, even slices so that they cook evenly and caramelize properly.
  • Use a Wide Pan: A wide pan will allow the onions to spread out and caramelize more easily. A skillet or sauté pan is a good choice.
  • Cook Over Medium-Low Heat: This will help the onions caramelize slowly and evenly, without burning. Be patient and let the onions cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add Liquid: The liquid helps the onions to caramelize and prevents them from drying out. You can use water, stock, or balsamic vinegar. If you're using balsamic vinegar, add it towards the end of the cooking process so that it doesn't burn.
  • Season to Taste: Once the onions are caramelized, season them with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices of your choice. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.
