SWEET AND SOUR PEARL ONIONS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR



Sweet and Sour Pearl Onions With Balsamic Vinegar image

I have not made this version, but my Italian mother made a very similar dish when I a child. It was the only way I would eat onions. It was one of those things she just whipped together, and I never learned how. I hope this will duplicate my childhood memories of it. It is called Cipolline in Agrodolce in Italian.

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs baby onions
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose small onions: Smaller onions cook more evenly and quickly, making them ideal for this recipe.
  • Use a variety of colors: Red, white, and yellow onions add different flavors and colors to the dish.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This helps them caramelize and absorb the sauce better.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the onions in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, which can prevent even cooking.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar is the key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality one that has a rich flavor.
  • Add some herbs: Fresh thyme or rosemary can add a nice flavor to the dish.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature: These onions can be served warm as a side dish or at room temperature as an appetizer.
