BALSAMIC-GLAZED PEARL ONIONS



Balsamic-Glazed Pearl Onions image

Deeply caramelized with balsamic vinegar until glossy and browned, these sweet and tangy jewels are a gorgeous addition to your holiday plate. We actually prefer frozen, peeled pearl onions over fresh for convenience; you save a lot of time by not peeling fresh pearl onions. You will be tempted to stir the pan frequently as the liquid reduces, but the onions need time to cook undisturbed in order to get deeply browned. Keep the heat low so the liquid in the pan doesn't dry up too quickly.

This glaze is a must-have accompaniment to drizzle over fish, poultry, vegetables, pastas, salads, and even fruit. It can turn any dish from ordinary to extraordinary with its perfectly balanced, intense flavor of sweet and tangy.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm parsnips. Avoid any that are limp or have blemishes.
  • Peel the parsnips before roasting them. This will help them to caramelize and brown more evenly.
  • Toss the parsnips and onions with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to develop a flavorful crust.
  • Roast the parsnips and onions at a high temperature (425°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Make the balsamic glaze while the parsnips and onions are roasting. This will give the glaze time to thicken and caramelize.
  • Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the roasted parsnips and onions before serving. You can also sprinkle them with fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary.

Conclusion:

Balsamic glazed parsnips and onions are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
