Deglaze the pan with the balsamic vinegar and reduce until the liquid is almost all gone. Set aside briefly.

Grill both sides, transfer to potato rolls (which can be very briefly pre-toasted cut side down on the grill if you like), and garnish each with 3 cipollini onions.

QUINCE WITH CIPOLLINI ONIONS AND BACON
English settlers most likely brought quince seeds to Connecticut, where orchards now fill with them every fall. This year, the chef Eric Gorman's White Silo Farm and Winery in Sherman, which specializes in fruit wines, held its first weekend quince festival, with a number of quince dishes to taste. He plans to serve this one, combining quinces with bacon and onions, for Thanksgiving at the farm. A pinch of nutmeg (we are speaking of the so-called Nutmeg State, after all) adds spice.
