Red Wine Glazed Cipolini Onions

 

Serves 12

 

3 pounds

Cipolini Onions*

5 Tablespoons

Unsalted Butter

2 Tablespoons

Brown sugar, packed

1/4 Cup

Port

3/4 Cup

Dry Red Wine

1/4 Cup

Balsamic Vinegar

1 Tablespoon

Fresh thyme leaves, minced
  Kosher salt
  Freshly ground black pepper

 

 

Preparation

 

Boil water in a medium saucepan. Add onions and cook 4 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop cooking.

 

Use a pairing knife to trim and peel onions. Set aside.

 

Add butter and sugar to a heavy bottomed saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add wine and port, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, thyme and onions. Bring to a gentle boil and cook covered for 10 minutes. Uncover and cook 10-15 minutes until tender and glazed.

 

Remove from heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add remaining balsamic to taste, if desired. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves.

 

Can be made ahead and then re-heated before serving.

 

*Pearl onions or a combination will also work well. Because they are smaller, make sure to reduce initial cooking time to 3 minutes.
