Time 23m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds cipollini onions
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or rosemary leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Drop in the onions and boil 2 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
  • Use a small, sharp knife to slice off the top of the onions, then slip off the skins. Trim any hairy roots, but leave the stem end intact so that the onions don't separate. If the onions are larger than 1 1/2-inches diameter, slice into halves or quarters.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a medium (8-10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter stops foaming and begins to smell nutty, add the onions to the pan. Cook 5 minutes, or until the onions are browned, stirring occasionally.
  • Sprinkle the onions with the sugar and salt. Pour the water and vinegar over them (the pan will sputter). Turn the heat down to medium and cover the pan. Cook 5 minutes.
  • Uncover the pan and continue cooking until the liquid in the pan looks syrupy and has large bubbles, another 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with the thyme and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: For this recipe, it's best to use small to medium-sized onions, such as pearl or boiling onions. These onions will cook evenly and hold their shape better than larger onions.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help the onions caramelize quickly and evenly. If you slice the onions too thickly, they will take longer to cook and may not caramelize properly.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the onions plenty of room to spread out and caramelize evenly. If you use a skillet that is too small, the onions will overcrowd and steam instead of caramelize.
  • Cook the onions over medium-low heat: This will allow the onions to caramelize slowly and evenly. If you cook the onions over too high heat, they will burn.
  • Stir the onions occasionally: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning. You can also use a wooden spatula to gently scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits.
  • Add the balsamic vinegar and garlic towards the end of the cooking time: This will prevent the balsamic vinegar from burning and the garlic from becoming too harsh.
  • Serve the balsamic glazed onions and garlic immediately: They are best enjoyed when they are hot and caramelized.

Conclusion:

Balsamic glazed onions and garlic are a delicious and versatile dish that can be used as a side dish, topping, or condiment. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them sweet, savory, or tangy, these onions are sure to please.
