Braise sauteed cippolini onions in honey and balsamic vinegar for an incredibly flavorful side dish that pairs well with just about any entrée. Ingredients:
1 pound cippolini onions |
1 tablespoon unsalted butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
1/2 cup water |
3 tablespoons honey |
2 sprigs rosemary |
1 bay leaf |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400° with rack in middle.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add onions and boil 1 minute. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water. Let stand 1 minute, then peel using a small knife.
3. Melt butter and oil over medium-high heat in a large (12-inch) ovenproof skillet until foam from the butter subsides. Sauté onions until browned (about 5 minutes). Carefully add balsamic vinegar (it will splatter a bit), water, honey, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Transfer onions with liquid to oven. Braise, uncovered, until onions are tender and liquid is syrupy (about 1 hour). Remove bay leaf before serving.
