Steps:
- Peel all the onions and cut in half lengthwise. Thinly slice them lengthwise so that many pieces stay together at the root end.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Cook until wilted, about 7 minutes. Add the chili, lime zest and lemongrass and sauté until the onions are tender but not mushy, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut. Season with salt and pepper and cool slightly.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Blend the remaining oil and the soy sauce and brush some over the inside of an 8-inch pie plate. Place a sheet of phyllo over the plate and press lightly to line the bottom and sides. Brush with the oil-soy sauce mixture. Place another sheet of phyllo on top of the first one at an angle and brush with the oil-soy sauce mixture. Continue, using enough phyllo to cover the sides of the plate without any gaps, saving 2 sheets for the top.
- Spoon the onion mixture into the pastry shell and fold the pastry over the filling. Brush with the oil-soy sauce mixture. Fold 1 sheet of phyllo in half and place it on top, crimping and tucking it in on the sides. Brush with the oil-soy sauce mixture. Repeat with the last sheet of pastry. Score the top in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly.

Tips:
- Work Quickly with Phyllo Dough: Keep your phyllo dough covered with a damp paper towel at all times to prevent it from drying out. If necessary, re-cover the stack with a new damp towel during assembly.
- Soften the Onions Properly: For perfectly tender and flavorful onions, cook them slowly over medium-low heat until they caramelize. Don't rush this process; it should take about 20-25 minutes.
- Use a High-Quality Balsamic Vinegar: The balsamic vinegar reduction adds a delicious tangy and sweet flavor to the tarts. Use a good quality balsamic vinegar for the best results.
- Don't Overfill the Tart Shells: Make sure not to overfill the tart shells with the onion mixture. Leave some space at the top so that the filling doesn't spill over during baking.
- Serve Warm or at Room Temperature: These tarts are best enjoyed warm or at room temperature. If you're making them ahead of time, let them cool completely before storing them in the refrigerator. Reheat them in a warm oven or toaster oven before serving.
Conclusion:
These Sweet Onion Phyllo Tarts are a delightful and versatile appetizer or snack. They're easy to make with store-bought phyllo dough, caramelized onions, and a tangy balsamic vinegar reduction. You can customize them with different herbs, cheese, and toppings to suit your taste.
