Ingredients

15 cipollini onions
Extra-virgin olive oil
About 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup honey
1/2 bunch thyme, leaves removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Add the onions to a large bowl, cover with hot water and allow to sit for about 5 minutes. This is to help make peeling the onions much easier. Strain onions and peel.

In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup oil, vinegar, honey, thyme, salt and pepper until combined. Put the onions in a large bowl, pour the dressing over them and toss well to coat.

In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add about 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat. Once hot, add the onions. Next place the saute pan into the preheated oven and roast for 18 to 20 minutes until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized.

Still experimenting with this one...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe smells amazing! I wish I'd read the reviews before attempting it though. I noticed that after leaving them in... the hot water before peeling for longer than five minutes, the onions were already begining to soften. That was a good thing! I was rather upset with how much of this onion I had to loose in peeling them, seeing as they're so expensive! I'm wondering is there a less expensive alternative to cipollines? I too poured the marinade into the pan and put it all in the oven. No way I was throwing away that awesome flavor. Oh, the aroma was to die for; I couldn't wait to taste them. I noticed cutting the onions in half allowed them to soak up more of the goods, too. The final product was pretty soft and had pretty good flavor, too. (In my haste I left out the salt and pepper and noticed it's absence right away, so I won't judge the taste on this occassion.) They looked wonderful, especially after turning them over close to the end and putting them back in for a few minutes more. Next time I will try soaking for less time (5 minutes as stated) and using a 350 degree oven as suggested below. I'll also half or quarter whatever onion I use to absorb more of that flavor.

Better on the stovetop.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I ended up finishing these on top of the stove instead of in the oven. I think that helped them to carmelize a bit, and iit... was easier to tell when they were done. I think that next time I'll use much less olive oil and will cook them on top of the stove the whole time. Read more

Put it in the pan
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I put the marinade in to oven with the cipollini's - and it cam out aesome. This recipe was prepared alone with pan fried... medalions of pork tenderloin and got rave reviews from my guests. Will be made again for another group tomorrow! What a response from the group, two per plate was only a tease, maybe better that way, they dipped ina homemade ciabatta and could not get enough.Read more

Excellent with a few tweaks
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I followed most of the recipe then went to the reviews and cooked the onions at 350 for 30 mins. I had something else that... needed to be in the oven at 400 so kept them going in a smaller dish (not the pan,) and they were delish!!Read more

Great taste and make a great dressing
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

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.Read more
