Disaster

Usually, Gaida's recipes are good, but this one for Cipolline Onions was a real disaster for me. I followed the recipe and cooked the onions in my most treasured pan. The vinegar sauce dried on the pan so badly that I had to throw my beloved pan away. I had had it for years. The onions tasted terrible, by the way. Throw this one out!
Excellent

This recipe is great, especially if you love the sweet tangy taste of Balsamic Vineager.
Very Tasty!!

I made this for my mother and father on our new grill pan. It was excellent!! I added some garlic to the tuna marinade and grilled each side for 3 minutes. It was a hit! I used boiling onions, and they were delicious also. I would highly recommend this meal.
No, gf was NOT that airhead Sandra Lee!

The recipe is great as usual. I just wanted to reply to Anonymous 10/08/05. The girl in the episode was not Sandra Lee altho they do look very similar. Giada has noted in interviews that the people featured in episodes really are her friends and family! That really personalizes her show. If you've seen Giada and Sandra Lee together in other Food Network Specials you will notice Sandra seems to intentionally overpronounce Giada's name and there seems to be an iciness between them. Jealous perhaps Sandra? Cause we all know Giada blows your stuff out of the water!!!
Ok dish

The onions are great, but the tuna could use a lot more flavor. You can buy balsamic soaked onions at many olive bars, it's much easier to buy them there.
Nice Flavor

This tuna is really easy to make, with a nice fresh flavor. The only problem I had was properly searing the outside. I don't have a grill or grill pan, so I was pan searing. Does anyone have any tips?
Tasty!

Loved this dish! The sweetness of the cipolline onions and the kick of the balsamic vinegar really made this come life. Great over salad greens.
Light & Tasty

This grilled tuna was very light tasting and delicious. The onions were very good but the hour long cooking time was too long. The balsamic vinegar burned on the bottom of the dish. I would just cut back the time to between 30 and 45 minutes.
love the onions

I agree with Sherry from Ga. this recipe was very good but the onions really made it. I have a question wasn't the girlfriend ( Hilary ) in this episode really Sandra Lee.
Great

I love roasted vege's and this recipe is very good. As for Carolyn in Woodbridge, NJ who is looking for the 'Ricotta Pancake' recipe, pleased go to the search input box on the top of most web pages and type in 'ricotta pancakes'. I came up with 3 recipe results, one of which is Giada's recipe that you are looking for. It seems that the Food Network sometimes forgets to link all of the recipes in their database to the TV listing for each show. Sometimes they are in the recipe database and you can search for them using a key word for that recipe. Many times I have found a recipe that didn't show up on the TV listing page for that show. Hope this helps! Ron
This is for the pancake recipe in this episode

I tried it today and it's very good. Pancakes where dense, but fluffy. I only wish I had the blueberries but I'll have them next time, I'll probably add some honey too. Very delicious indeed. But why isn't this recipe on this website? It's a good thing I remembered what she did. I love pancakes and am always looking for a new way of making them. This is one of the best so far.
Very disappointed!

I read other people's reviews before I made this and I decided to protect my baking dish by lining the bottom and the sides of it with al.foil but it did not help. As other people said the sauce burnt and was a bit bitter and my baking dish is almost ruined. The tuna itself was just O.K. Will never make this again.
Ok, needs more flavor

This recipe was really easy for a weekday, even though the onions required a long time in the oven. I didn't have cipollines, so I used chunked vidalias instead. The onions were v. good, although I thought the taste overpowered the tuna a bit. The marinade for the tuna was lacking a bit. I couldn't really taste it. Maybe a more potent herb would have stood up to the onions better. Also, I only made 3 tuna steaks, but made the full 2 pounds of onions. I would have needed a lot more onion had I made 6 tuna steaks like the recipe calls for. I don't think I would make this again.

The tuna was great, but the onions were not as flavorful as I had hoped, but will do it again.
Yummo!

The onions were delicious. I used whiting fish instead of tuna. Still great!
Forget the Tuna - the Onions Rock with Steak!

I saved this recipe for the onions and made them tonight with Porterhouse Steaks on the Grill and Oven Roasted Asparagus w/EVOO, S+P and Roasted Garlic Marscapone Carmelized Onion Mashed Potatoes. The Balsamic turned syrupy and made the onions sugary sweet - Yum-o (Sorry Rach)

I followed the hint on the show and put the onions in the upper half of the oven. They burned horribly.

What more can I say but.... yummy! The tuna was absolutely delicious and easy along with the cippolini onions. I had recorded the episode on my DVR and watched it before I made the entire recipe. For the onions, I used 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar and half of that amount for the olive oil. Just remember to put your oven rack at the LOWEST point in the oven. NOT on the top shelf as some here have said otherwise they will burn. The balsamic reduction was wonderful. I thought my husband was going to lick his plate. The polenta was also a hearty and delicious side dish. I couldn't find the quick cooking type so it took me an additional half hour but it still turned out perfect. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks Giada!!!
Listen more carefully

Just an FYI to those who want to make this dish - do not listen to the people who complained that they listened to Giada and followed her hint of putting the roasting pan closer to the top of the oven...what she says is to put in in the LOWER part of the oven so they WON'T burn. The dish is very good.

I loved the sweetness of the onions with the tuna. The only thing I would suggest is to cover the onions before placing them in the oven. The sauce dried out and stuck to my baking dish, which I am still trying to soak and remove. Besides that, it was easy and tasty and a wonderful quick dinner for the weeknight.
Best Tuna recipe I've ever tried!

I followed the recipe but only used two tuna steaks and a 12 oz. bag of pearl onions because the Cipolline Onions were not available to me. The flavor was incredible, but really I felt that had I made the full recipe of 6 Tuna Steaks I would have wanted more sauce from the onions to put over the steaks. Other then that it was super easy and had a uniquely wonderful flavor!
holy smoke!

I made the onions as a side dish. About 10 minutes into cooking them the vast amount of smoke set off my smoke alarm. The basalmic was burning in the bottom of the pyrex dish. I removed them from the oven and put them in a clean dish with some olive oil and resumed cooking them. The result was good, but can't figure out what to do differently next time. Any thoughts??
