BALSAMIC-ORANGE CIPOLLINI ONIONS
Cipollini Onions are wonderful little mild & slightly sweet onions that hold flavor really well. We were introduced to them this year through our CSA Seldom Seen Farms (Indiana). This is a recipe that was included on their weekly newsletter--there is not an original source listed. The recipe calls for 2 pounds of Cipollini--I only use 1 pound at a time since I'm normally cooking for 2. To prepare the onions, Cut off tops & roots, & peel off the outer layer. Be careful not to cut too much off the bottom of the onion, or it won't hold it's cute shape together when cooking. For easier peeling--quickly blanch the onions for about 30 seconds in boiling water.

Steps:
- Prepare cipollini (see tips in description above).
- Melt butter & olive oil over medium heat, add onions & sautee until slightly soft & slightly golden brown, approximately 6-10 minutes depending on size of onions.
- Add remaining ingredients & reduce heat to medium-low. Cook onions in liquid until liquid is reduced & has a light syrup consistency. Season with salt & pepper if desired. Plate & Serve.
Tips:
- Use sweet onions: Sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla onions, have a milder flavor that will not overpower the other ingredients in the sauce.
- Caramelize the onions slowly: Caramelizing the onions brings out their natural sweetness and adds a rich, deep flavor to the sauce.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: Balsamic vinegar is the star of this sauce, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
- Reduce the balsamic vinegar: Reducing the balsamic vinegar concentrates its flavor and makes it more syrupy.
- Add the oranges at the end: Adding the oranges at the end prevents them from becoming bitter.
- Serve the sauce warm: This sauce is best served warm over grilled or roasted meats, fish, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
This orange, onion, and balsamic sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're looking for a sweet and tangy sauce to serve with grilled chicken or a savory sauce to add to your favorite pasta dish, this sauce is sure to please.
