This recipe looked amazing when watching the show. However, the onions don't absorb much flavor while marinating and you can't really add it as a dressing when its done cooking. There's got to be a better way to make this....




Tangy Sweet & Yummy

These onions are wonderful, but I have to concur with the other reviewers--the recommended cooking time is not nearly long enough to get the onions tender and caramelized. I baked, covered with foil, for about 1 hour at 350 and ended up with delicious tender onions swimming an a lovely sweet and tangy sauce. They also look gorgeous!




It's all about the sauce

The best part of this recipe is the honey balsamic sauce. I spooned the sauce/glaze on top the parsnip puree (which was also from this episdoe) and it was just delicous! I agree that the cooking time was off but once I turned my oven to 350 and let the onions keep going they just kept getting better and better.




Sounds good but doesn't work

I thought this would be a winner, but it just doesn't quite work. First, the cooking time is way short; the onions don't soften in the given time. When they finally do, some of the honey/balsamic mixture will carmelize on the pan... and it turns into a tar-like substance. There are better things to do with cipollinis.




Great taste and make a great dressing

I agree they could have cooked longer. I used the reduction in the pan to go over baby arugula to go on the plate with the short ribs and the puree....it was a hit. I will use this as a salad dressing in the future.

Maybe i had bad onions, but these need to be cooked a lot longer to really get them sweet. Also, the onions really didn't absorb any of the sauce.
