Photo: Cipollini Onions Braised in Red Wine Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 pounds cipollini onions, peeled
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Directions
In a large straight-sided saute pan over medium-high heat, melt butter and add onions. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Saute until nicely browned then add the wine and vinegar. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer until onions are completely cooked through and tender, about 15 minutes. Remove lid, turn heat up and let the liquid reduce and thicken until it forms a glaze and coats the onions well.

These were by far the easiest and tastiest onions I have ever had.I served them alongside my rice stuffed pork chops and they were outstanding, so quick and easy. For those that said it was to time consuming, what did you do, go out and harvest the onions yourself?
Thanks Sunny!

CAUTION: On TV Chef poured boiling water into a glass bowl with onions. Don't do this unless it is heat treated/safe such as pyrex. Otherwise thermal shock could crack your glass...or shatter it, potential for flying shards.
But if you are boiling water in a pot anyway, why not dump the onions into the pot. That way, one less item to clean and you don't risk ruining a bowl and the food in it.

I used pearl onions and they came out perfect. I used the pearl onions because that is what I had on hand but I think I will use them again then next time I make this dish. The pearl onions are smaller and they cook faster...plus they're bite size which I think are perfect for a dish like this.
As for peeling the onions I just followed the directions on the bag that said to boil for 3 minutes then cut the ends off. This worked out well enough although I think I will boil them a little less.
GOOD JOB SUNNY!
