Balsamic Glazed Sweet and Sour Onions

Time

Yield

4 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

2 lbs. cipolline or
sm. 1-1/2-inch onions
4 tbsp. virgin olive oil
3 tbsp. sweet butter
2 tbsp. sugar
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 cup water
1 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary leaves

Instructions

Peel the onions, leaving and washing any root strand you may find. In a 12- to 14-inch sauté pan over a medium-high flame, heat virgin olive oil until just smoking. Add butter and cook until foam subsides. Add onions and sauté until light golden-brown on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Add sugar, vinegar, tomato sauce and water and bring to a boil.

Cook onions uncovered, until just al dente, approximately 10 minutes. If liquid dissipates too quickly, add more water, a 1/4 cup at a time, realizing that it is essential not to overcook the onions. The sauce should just adhere to the onions.

Remove from sauté pan to an earthenware dish and hold in a warm place, or allow to cool if you are serving them later or as an antipasto.
