Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds cipollini or pearl onions, root ends trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh thyme
2/3 cup red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add onions; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer onions until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain; let cool. Peel onions.
  • Heat oil with bay leaf in a large saute pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add thyme. Add half of onions; cook, stirring, until deep golden brown in spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Repeat with remaining onions. Add first batch to pan.
  • Stir together vinegar, wine, sugar, and salt; add to pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is syrupy and glazes onions, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with pepper.

These onions were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try making them again with a different type of vinegar.

This recipe was delightful! The cipollini onions were perfectly sweet and tangy, and the balsamic reduction added a lovely richness. I served them as a side dish with roasted chicken, and they were a hit with the whole family.
