Pomegranate-Glazed Ham with Jammy Cipollinis image

Pomegranate molasses, honey, Dijon mustard, and allspice create an irresistible glaze for a holiday-party classic: a whole ham. The meat is roasted with a pile of cipollini onions, which caramelize and soak up all the delicious drippings, then served with mini pickle biscuits for making sandwiches.

Time 2h30m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds cipollini onions
1/3 cup pomegranate molasses, such as Al Wadi
2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 spiral-cut ham (6 to 8 pounds)
Mini Pickle Biscuits
Grainy or Dijon mustard, lady apples, and parsley sprigs, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with a rack in lower third. Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Trim 1/4 inch off root end of each onion, then cook onions in pot until just beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath, slip off skins, and cut into quarters. (Quartered onions can be refrigerated up to 2 days.)
  • Stir together molasses, brown sugar, honey, mustard, allspice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place ham in a large roasting pan, cut-side down; baste generously with glaze. Scatter onions around ham and pour in 1/2 cup water.
  • Cover ham with parchment-lined foil; roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part (not touching bone) reads 125 degrees, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes. Uncover, baste with more glaze, and return to oven. Increase heat to 400 degrees and roast, basting and rotating pan once, until outside is crisp, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter; tent with foil.
  • Return roasting pan with onions to oven; roast until sauce has thickened slightly and onions are caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer onions and pan drippings to a serving vessel; skim fat from top. Serve ham with biscuits, mustard, onions, apples, and parsley.

ONIONS GLAZED WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES



ONIONS GLAZED WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES image

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Sauté     Thanksgiving

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound white boiling onions, about 1 inch in diameter (see headnote)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon peeled, minced fresh ginger root
1 clove garlic, minced
One 2- or 3-inch cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or more as needed
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup water, or as needed
2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
Fresh pomegranate seeds (arils), for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Drop the onions into the water; blanch for 1 minute, then drain them and rinse quickly with cold water. Drain again. Use a paring knife to trim off the root ends, and peel the onions. Heat the oil and butter in a medium skillet (just large enough to hold the onions in a single layer) over medium-low heat until the butter melts. Add the ginger, garlic, cinnamon stick and bay leaf; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is fragrant and the ginger and garlic have softened, about 4 minutes. Add the onions, stir to coat, and season with the crushed red pepper flakes, salt and and a pinch of the black pepper. Add just enough water to come about one-third of the way up the sides of the onions. Once the water begins to bubble at the edges, cover the skillet and adjust the heat as needed so the liquid bubbles at the edges. Braise until the onions are tender enough to easily pierce with the tip of a paring knife, 20 to 30 minutes, depending on their size. Uncover; increase the heat to medium-high and bring the liquid to a full boil. Discard the cinnamon stick and bay leaf. When there is just under 1/4 inch of liquid left in the skillet, add the pomegranate molasses. Cook, shaking the pan to prevent the onions from sticking, until the pan liquid is reduced to a glaze and the onions are well coated. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed. Top with a scattering of the cilantro or parsley (to taste) and, if using, the pomegranate seeds. Serve hot or warm.

DUCK BREAST WITH POMEGRANATE GLAZE



Duck Breast With Pomegranate Glaze image

Don't be put off by all the steps, this is a pretty easy recipe. You can also use the glaze and sauce on a whole roast duck, instead of duck breasts. The duck breasts can be seared a day in advance; the pomegranate glaze can be prepared in advance as well; cover and refrigerate separately. When ready to cook, bring the seared duck to room temperature, then roast in a 350-degree oven for 7 minutes or until medium-rare (135 degrees when measured with an instant-read probe thermometer). Serve with quinoa or mashed potatoes. Prep time does not include time to reduce the stock/broth. Originally from the Washington Post.

ROASTED RED ONIONS WITH POMEGRANATE, ORANGE, AND PARSLEY GREMOLATA



Roasted Red Onions with Pomegranate, Orange, and Parsley Gremolata image

**The technique:** When cooked at a high heat, some vegetables take on a deep, nutty flavor and golden brown color. In this recipe, the sugars in the pomegranate molasses enhance the caramelization process. **The payoff:** Caramelized vegetables have that addictive sweet-savory taste and a lovely sheen.

GLAZED ONIONS



Glazed Onions image

Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. Recipe is from Moosewood. My cookbook says this will go well as a side with Mushroom Pie

Provided by MsBindy

Categories     Onions

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb boiling onions (about 1 1/2 - 2 inches in diameter)
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon molasses
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1 -2 teaspoon tamari soy sauce

Steps:

  • Blanch the peeled onions for 5 minutes in boiling salted water.
  • Drain them, pat them dry and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until smooth.
  • Add the onions and saute on low heat, occasionally basting the onions with the glaze.
  • Turn the onions over at least once.
  • After about 10 minutes, the glaze will be somewhat reduced and thickened and the onions golden brown.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions work best for this recipe as they have a mild flavor and can withstand the high heat without burning.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them caramelize evenly and quickly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the onions from burning.
  • Don't crowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the onion slices so that they can caramelize properly.
  • Be patient: Caramelizing onions takes time. Don't rush the process or you will end up with burnt onions.
  • Add the pomegranate molasses at the end: This will help preserve its flavor and color.

Conclusion:

These onions glazed with pomegranate molasses are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of dishes. They are also a great way to use up leftover onions. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and impressive.
