Sherry Vinegar-Glazed Onions image

Traditional creamed onions and buttery glazed onions are perfectly nice, but the sparky tang of vinegar makes this version of the classic much more appealing. The sweet-and-sour flavors are a great foil for the rich, starchy dishes on a Thanksgiving table. Any leftovers can be chopped up to make a lively addition to winter stews and chunky soups.

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons neutral oil, like canola or grapeseed
1 pound small peeled onions, about 1 inch in diameter, red or white or a combination (frozen onions are fine)
1/2 cup sherry vinegar or apple cider vinegar
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Honey or maple syrup to taste
Finely minced parsley, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a wide skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium heat until bubbling. Add onions and sauté over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, gently rolling the onions about so they will brown as evenly as possible.
  • Pour in vinegar and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and simmer very gently until onions are perfectly tender but retain their shape. Start testing with a thin sharp knife after 15 minutes; depending on size, the onions may cook in 15 to 25 minutes. (Frozen onions will cook faster.) Taste one to make sure it is completely tender all the way through; do not undercook.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer onions to a serving bowl. (Onions may be prepared up to this point 2 days ahead. Reserve onions and cooking liquid separately. Reheat onions in reserved liquid, adding water as needed, then transfer them to a bowl.)
  • Raise heat and boil liquid to reduce it to a thick glaze. Taste and add salt, pepper and sweetener to taste. Stir in parsley and serve hot or warm.

GLAZED ONIONS

Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. Recipe is from Moosewood. My cookbook says this will go well as a side with Mushroom Pie

Provided by MsBindy

Categories     Onions

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb boiling onions (about 1 1/2 - 2 inches in diameter)
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon molasses
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1 -2 teaspoon tamari soy sauce

Steps:

  • Blanch the peeled onions for 5 minutes in boiling salted water.
  • Drain them, pat them dry and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until smooth.
  • Add the onions and saute on low heat, occasionally basting the onions with the glaze.
  • Turn the onions over at least once.
  • After about 10 minutes, the glaze will be somewhat reduced and thickened and the onions golden brown.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To caramelize the onions properly, cook them over medium-low heat and stir them frequently. This will help them brown evenly and develop a deep, rich flavor.
  • If the onions start to stick to the pan, add a splash of water or broth. This will help deglaze the pan and prevent the onions from burning.
  • Once the onions are caramelized, deglaze the pan with a splash of balsamic vinegar. This will add a delicious tangy flavor to the onions.
  • Glaze the onions with a mixture of honey, butter, and brown sugar. This will give them a beautiful glaze and a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Serve the glazed onions as a side dish or use them as a topping for burgers, sandwiches, or salads.
