- In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add about 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat. Once hot, add the onions. Next place the saute pan into the preheated oven and roast for 18 to 20 minutes until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the cipollini until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water. Trim and peel the onions and pat dry.
- Transfer the onions to a large ovenproof skillet and stir in the olive oil, thyme leaves, sugar, and 1/4 cup of the sherry vinegar. Bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Cover the skillet with foil and roast the onions in the upper third of the oven for about 20 minutes, until soft. Remove the foil and roast the onions for about 10 minutes, basting a few times with the juices, until lightly glazed.
- Transfer the skillet to the stove. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sherry vinegar and stir over moderate heat until the onions are richly glazed, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and plenty of pepper and serve.
SHERRY VINEGAR-GLAZED ONIONS
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.

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.
LEATHER STORRS' ROASTED CIPOLLINI ONIONS WITH SHERRY CARAMEL
Steps:
- To make sherry caramel: In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine the sugar and water. Heat on medium, periodically swirling the pan to distribute the heat (do not stir). Cook until caramel is the color of cola, then add the vinegar. Stand back; it will hiss and spatter. Simmer the caramel for 8 minutes, stirring to dissolve any lumps that may have formed, and remove from the heat. Transfer to a container or squirt bottle when it has cooled slightly. This recipe makes more than enough for the onions, but it is difficult to make a smaller batch. To make onions: Put the onions in a large pot of salted, boiling water. After 1 minute (the water doesn't need to return to a boil), drain and transfer them to a sheet pan to cool. When you can handle them, peel off the skins and trim any roots and papery tops. It's best to roast the onions in the vessel they'll be served in (such as a cast-iron Le Creuset gratin pan or a nice ceramic baking dish), but failing that, use a heavy dish that will accommodate the onions in a single layer. Toss the onions, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them in the pan and roast at 400 degrees until golden brown and tender (30 to 50 minutes). Remove the herb sprigs from the pan and add about 1 cup of the caramel to the onions. Return the pan to the oven and raise the temperature to 450 degrees. After 5 minutes remove the pan from the oven, and shake to coat the onions with the melted caramel. Repeat the shaking at 5-minute intervals two more times, until the onions are evenly coated with the caramel. Add the parsley, toss again, adjust the seasonings, garnish with rosemary and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right onions: Select small, firm cipollini onions for roasting. These sweet onions have a mild flavor that complements the sherry vinegar marinade.
- Roast the onions until caramelized: Roasting the onions brings out their natural sweetness and gives them a slightly charred flavor. Roast the onions until they are golden brown and soft.
- Make the marinade ahead of time: The marinade can be made up to 2 days in advance, allowing the flavors to meld. This makes it a great dish for meal prepping.
- Use a good quality sherry vinegar: Sherry vinegar has a slightly nutty and sweet flavor that pairs well with the roasted onions. Look for a sherry vinegar that is aged for at least 3 years.
- Serve the onions warm or at room temperature: Roasted cipollini onions can be served warm or at room temperature. They are a great addition to salads, pasta dishes, or as a side dish to grilled meats or fish.
Conclusion:
Roasted cipollini onions with sherry vinegar are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making them a great option for busy weeknights. The combination of sweet onions, savory marinade, and tangy vinegar creates a flavor profile that is sure to please everyone at the table.
