Balsamic Cipolline Onions Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut the onions in half and slice 1/4 inch thick. Place on a baking sheet and toss with 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the onions are tender. Remove from the oven, toss with 2 more tablespoons balsamic vinegar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Heat olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add onions, stem side down, and cook, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and continue browning on opposite side, about 2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add vinegar and sugar; cook, until slightly syrupy, about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth, thyme, and garlic; bring to a boil. Transfer skillet to oven and roast until onions are easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• To prepare the balsamic syrup, in a small saucepan, stir together the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes, and thyme. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and simmer until the mixture has reduced by one-third and is syrupy enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 20 minutes.
• Let cool to room temperature and then strain. Store the syrup in a covered jar at room temperature for up to 1 month.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer. Place the onions in a medium, heat-proof bowl and cover them with the simmering water. Let sit for 10 minutes and then slip off their skins, using a paring knife to loosen the ends if necessary.
• In a deep, medium saute pan, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until they are golden brown on both sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Add the vinegar and scrape up the browned glaze from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan tightly, and simmer until the onions are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let them sit, still covered.
• Generously brush both sides of the bread with oil. Toast the slices in a large skillet over medium heat until they are crispy and golden on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Divide them among 6 serving plates.
• In a large bowl, toss the arugula with enough of the warm onion cooking liquid to make the leaves glossy. Divide the arugula among the pieces of toast. Top each with 3 onions and drizzle with about 1 tablespoon of the balsamic syrup.

Steps:

• Cook onions in large pot of boiling water 3 minutes. Drain and cool. Cut off root ends, then peel.
• Combine peeled onions, beef stock, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, butter and sugar in heavy large skillet. Bring to simmer over medium heat. Cover; simmer until onions are crisp-tender, about 15 minutes. Add 1/2 tablespoon vinegar. Simmer uncovered until syrupy, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in 1 tablespoon parsley. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley.

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add white and red pearl and cipollini onions, and boil for 1 minute. Drain. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then carefully peel, leaving root and stem ends intact. Transfer to a large bowl, and add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss to combine.
• Meanwhile, remove any damaged outer leaves from leeks, then trim and discard dark-green tops. Trim roots of leeks without cutting off the base. Cut them in half lengthwise, and let soak in a large bowl of cold water for 5 to 10 minutes to rid them of dirt and sand. Lift leeks from water, pat dry, and place in a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to combine.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and leeks. Saute leeks until slightly tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove leeks from skillet, and set aside.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil and white, red, and cipollini onions to skillet, and saute turning occasionally, until browned all over, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium low, and add balsamic vinegar and stock; cover skillet, and cook until onions are tender, 20 to 30 minutes, adding the leeks to pan after 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover, and add butter; increase heat to high, and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until liquid reduces to a glaze and coats the onions, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
