Balsamic vinegar and cipolline onions update a popular turkey side dish.

Ingredients

  • 3 pkg (each 10 oz/284 g) cipolline onions, (about 48)
  • 2 tbsp butter or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Preparation

In large saucepan of boiling water, blanch onions for 1 minute; drain and transfer to bowl of ice water to cool. Peel onions, trimming root end if necessary.

In large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; sauté onions until golden, shaking pan often, 10 minutes.

Add orange juice, vinegar, salt and pepper; bring to boil. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Uncover and simmer until onions are glazed and just tender, 5 to 7 minutes. (Make-ahead: Let cool; cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Reheat in covered casserole dish in 400°F/200°C oven for 20 minutes, or in microwave at high for 5 minutes.)

Tip:
Cipolline onions are small, flat Mediterranean onions found in many supermarkets and Italian markets. You can also use twice as many pearl onions, or 6 cooking onions, quartered and peeled but leaving root end intact.
