Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds cipollini or pearl onions, root ends trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh thyme
2/3 cup red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add onions; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer onions until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain; let cool. Peel onions.
  • Heat oil with bay leaf in a large saute pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add thyme. Add half of onions; cook, stirring, until deep golden brown in spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Repeat with remaining onions. Add first batch to pan.
  • Stir together vinegar, wine, sugar, and salt; add to pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is syrupy and glazes onions, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with pepper.

CIPOLLINE IN AGRODOLCE

I found this recipe for my Italian FIL. He said he'd never heard of them but his mother DID make "jubilee onions." I figure if calamari = galama, sopressata - soopesage, cavatelli = gavadeel, then cipollini = jubilee. This is a very simple, straightforward recipe as are many Italian recipes.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 tablespoons butter
2 lbs peeled cipolline onions
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2-1 cup water (maybe more)
3 drops fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a pan large enough to hold the onions.
  • Cook the onions in the butter for a few minutes while stirring.
  • Sprinkle on the sugar, the vinegar and enough water to barely cover the onions and bring to a boil.
  • Simmer until the liquid is completely gone, stirring occasionally, 15-20 minutes, watching carefully to avoid scorching. (The onions will become glazed & caramelized).
  • Sprinkle with lemon juice & serve.

MICHAEL ROMANO’S GLAZED CIPOLLINI

Categories     Onion     Side

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound cipollini
2 tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups red wine
2 tablespoons honey
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • (1) Soak cipollini in ice water for an hour to make them easier to peel. (2) Peel with a paring knife. Heat butter in saucepan or straight-sided skillet over medium flame until it turns nutty brown. Add cipollini and cook, while stirring, about 8 minutes, until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Add wine, honey, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, until cipollini are tender. Raise heat and boil until wine has reduced and glazed the cipollini; (3) stir often to coat and adjust heat as necessary to prevent glaze from sticking to the pan. Serve immediately, ideally as an accompaniment to any roasted meat.
