This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cipollini onions. I had a few left over from a salad and they were perfect for this dish.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the onions didn't turn out as I expected. They were a bit too mushy.

These onions were a bit too soft for my taste. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

The sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less vinegar in the recipe.

The onions didn't caramelize properly for me. I think I may have cooked them on too high of heat.

These onions were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.
