Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 medium red onions, peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Slice 1/4 inch off the tops and bottoms of the onions so they sit flat. Put the onions on the cutting board root-end down. Cut 3 slits in the stem side of each onion, crisscrossing to make 6 pie slices, cutting about two-thirds of the way through (do not cut all the way through).
  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the onions in and cook until tender on the outside, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and cool. When the onions are cool enough to touch, gently open the onion "petals" so the onion opens up like a flower.
  • In a small pot, simmer the red and white vinegars, brown sugar and 2 tablespoons water over medium heat until syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • On a baking sheet fitted with parchment paper, arrange the onion flowers in a single layer with space between each. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until the flowers open and the tips of the petals are lightly brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Plate the onions on a platter and spoon the sauce over the onion flowers. Serve.

Time 4h15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (28 ounce) cans green beans, Drained

2 large white onions, Sliced Into Rings
1 (16 ounce) package cheap bacon (Usually They Are About A Pound Or So)
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
1 dash garlic
3 tablespoons slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Fry BACON and remove from fat.
  • Mix SUGAR, VINEGAR and GARLIC; add to hot BACON FAT.
  • Cook mixture for about 5 minutes over medium high heat.
  • Place BEANS in a shallow baking dish.
