Balsamic Onions Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine onions, cut into 8 wedges each (trim core if pieces won't separate), thyme, and olive oil. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper; toss to combine.
• Cover and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until onions release their moisture, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low; leave cover on, and cook onions until golden, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in balsamic vinegar; cook until syrupy, 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 500°F.
• Line 2 large baking sheets with foil.
• Cut onions crosswise nearly, but not quite, all the way through. Make two or three more sectional cuts - always stopping before you cut through, so that onion is in 3/4-inch-thick wedges (the onion stays attached at one end and resembles an onion 'flower' (with very thick petals ;-) ).
• Place in medium bowl; toss with oil.
• Arrange onions, cut side down, on baking sheets.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast until onions are brown and tender, rotating pans in oven and turning onions once, about 45 minutes (they will caramelize and be quite dark in parts but, if you have coated them well with olive oil, will not have a 'burnt' taste).
• Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Add sugar and stir until sugar dissolves.
• Remove from heat.
• Add vinegar.
• Return to heat.
• Simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
• (Onions and balsamic glaze can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Cover separately and chill. Rewarm onions in 375°F oven about 15 minutes. Stir glaze over low heat to rewarm.) Arrange onions on platter.
• Drizzle glaze over.
• Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Drizzle oil into vinegar very slowly, whisking until it is mixed well.
• Marinate onions in mixture for 3 hours.
• Grill the onions until browned, about 10 minutes per side, brushing frequently with marinade.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss the onion quarters with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and season with salt and pepper. Place in an ovenproof, large, nonstick skillet, spreading them out in an even layer. Cover the skillet with aluminum foil. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, and then remove the foil. Toss the onions well to coat with the reduced balsamic glaze and put back in the oven to roast another 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.

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:

• Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 500°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil. Cut onions through root end into 3/4-inch-thick wedges. Place in medium bowl; toss with oil. Arrange onions, cut side down, on baking sheets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until onions are brown and tender, rotating pans in oven and turning onions once, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sugar and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Add vinegar. Return to heat. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. (Onions and balsamic glaze can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Cover separately and chill. Rewarm onions in 375°F oven about 15 minutes. Stir glaze over low heat to rewarm.)
• Arrange onions on platter. Drizzle glaze over. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the onions, season lightly with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat until they start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the rosemary and continue cooking the onions until very soft and just starting to brown, about 10 minutes longer.
• Add the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce and cook just until the liquid is mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Remove the rosemary sprig and serve.

Steps:

• Separate onion slices into rings. In a small bowl, combine onion, vinegar and oil; toss to mix. Season with salt and pepper. Marinate at room temperature for 2 hours. Remove onion rings and place them in a single layer on a nonstick drying sheet. Reserve any marinating juices for garnish. Place in dehydrator set at 105 degrees until tender and still slightly moist, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove, and set aside.

Steps:

• Slice about 1/4-inch from top and bottom of each onion. Peel onions, removing outer layer of flesh as well. Score onions about 3/4 of the way down, cutting at 1/4-inch intervals in a crisscross pattern. Place onions in a bowl of ice water for 2 to 4 hours, until cut area looks ruffled. Drain upside down 10 minutes.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place onions in a baking dish that holds them closely.
• Beat vinegar and honey together, and season with salt and pepper. Brush over onions. Dot each with butter. Pour cider into baking dish. Cover dish with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and baste with pan juices. Bake uncovered 30 minutes more, basting every 10 minutes. Baste again and serve.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Remove papery outer skin from garlic; separate into cloves. Boil garlic and onions for 3 minutes; drain and rinse in cold water. Cool. Peel garlic and onions; place in a 1-1/2-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Add oil and butter and toss to coat., Combine the vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Pour over onion mixture and stir to coat., Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover and stir. Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes longer or until garlic and onions are tender and sauce is slightly thickened, stirring every 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients apart from the vinegar in a slow cooker - or a very low oven or aga (50degreesC)
• Let it cook all day - and all night if it needs it - untill the onions are soft and dark brown and reduced. If it is crisping the heat is too high. You may need to stirr it occasionally - but i usually just leave it.
• Cook for the last half hour without a lid - to help it dry out a bit.
• Stirr in the balsamic vinegar. Done!
• I serve this with Lamb or Beef - but I also keep pots of it in the freezer to top homemade bread - or to put on puff pastry with brie.

Steps:

• Season roast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook roast in hot skillet until browned on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Place roast in a slow cooker and scatter onion slices around roast. Pour vinegar over the roast and onions.
• Cook roast in the slow cooker set to Low until tender and falling apart, 6 to 8 hours. Shred meat and return to slow cooker with juices.
