Pan-Roasted Balsamic Onions image

We mixed leeks with equal amounts of red and white pearl onions and cipollini (flat little Italian onions), but you can use any combination of small, sweet onions.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 ounces white pearl onions
10 ounces red pearl onions
10 ounces cipollini onions
2 1/4 pounds leeks
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup Homemade Chicken Stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add white and red pearl and cipollini onions, and boil for 1 minute. Drain. Let stand until cool enough to handle, then carefully peel, leaving root and stem ends intact. Transfer to a large bowl, and add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss to combine.
  • Meanwhile, remove any damaged outer leaves from leeks, then trim and discard dark-green tops. Trim roots of leeks without cutting off the base. Cut them in half lengthwise, and let soak in a large bowl of cold water for 5 to 10 minutes to rid them of dirt and sand. Lift leeks from water, pat dry, and place in a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to combine.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and leeks. Saute leeks until slightly tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove leeks from skillet, and set aside.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil and white, red, and cipollini onions to skillet, and saute turning occasionally, until browned all over, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium low, and add balsamic vinegar and stock; cover skillet, and cook until onions are tender, 20 to 30 minutes, adding the leeks to pan after 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover, and add butter; increase heat to high, and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until liquid reduces to a glaze and coats the onions, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.

Provided by Jill Silverman Hough

Categories     Beef     Mustard     Onion     Roast     Christmas     Dinner     Vinegar     Christmas Eve     Bon Appétit     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup crème fraîche
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup prepared white horseradish
1 cup plus 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, divided
4 medium onions, cut into 3/4-inch wedges with some core attached
5 very large shallots (about 1 pound), quartered through root end
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt plus additional (for sprinkling)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 9 1/2-pound bone-in standing prime rib roast, trimmed
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
1/4 cup brandy
2 cups low-salt beef broth
Chopped fresh italian parsley

Steps:

  • Using electric mixer, beat crème fraîche and cream in medium bowl to firm peaks. Fold in horseradish and 1/3 cup mustard. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill. DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled. Rewhisk before serving.
  • Preheat oven to 450°f. Toss onions, shallots, vinegar, oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt in large bowl. Sprinkle roast lightly with coarse salt and generously with pepper. Stir 2/3 cup mustard and garlic in small bowl; rub over roast. Place roast, bone side down, in roasting pan. Sprinkle mustard seeds over, pressing to adhere. Roast 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Arrange onion mixture around roast. Return to oven; roast until instant-read thermometer inserted into center registers 120°F, stirring onion mixture occasionally, about 2 1/4 hours for medium-rare.
  • Transfer roast to work surface. Tent with foil; let rest 30 minutes. If necessary, increase oven temperature to 450°F and return onion mixture to roasting pan and roast until deep brown and very tender, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer onion mixture to medium bowl.
  • Place roasting pan over 2 burners on medium-high heat. Add brandy; stir 30 seconds. Whisk in broth and remaining 1 teaspoon mustard; boil until reduced to 1 1/4 cups jus, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Season jus with salt and pepper.
  • Slice roast; arrange on platter. Spoon onions around roast. Sprinkle parsley over. Pass dijon crème fraîche and jus alongside.
  • What to drink:
  • The king of roasts meets its match in the king of wines. Dijon mustard's pleasant sharpness softens Cabernet's big tannins. With the roast, try the ROBERT MONDAVI 2006 CABERNET SAUVIGNON OAKVILLE (California, $45). The wine's spice and blackberry flavors are perfect with the beef.

BALSAMIC ROASTED ONIONS



Balsamic Roasted Onions image

This is a recipe I got in epicurious. It is one of those 'perfect' things you so rarely come across - nothing can be improved upon. Epicurious says it feeds 10. My husband and I say 'HA!!!' (it sometimes never makes it to the table and is eaten directly out of the pan).

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     Onions

Time 1h5m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 lbs medium-size red onions, peeled
1/4 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Position 1 rack in center and 1 rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 500°F.
  • Line 2 large baking sheets with foil.
  • Cut onions crosswise nearly, but not quite, all the way through. Make two or three more sectional cuts - always stopping before you cut through, so that onion is in 3/4-inch-thick wedges (the onion stays attached at one end and resembles an onion 'flower' (with very thick petals ;-) ).
  • Place in medium bowl; toss with oil.
  • Arrange onions, cut side down, on baking sheets.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast until onions are brown and tender, rotating pans in oven and turning onions once, about 45 minutes (they will caramelize and be quite dark in parts but, if you have coated them well with olive oil, will not have a 'burnt' taste).
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Add sugar and stir until sugar dissolves.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add vinegar.
  • Return to heat.
  • Simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
  • (Onions and balsamic glaze can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Cover separately and chill. Rewarm onions in 375°F oven about 15 minutes. Stir glaze over low heat to rewarm.) Arrange onions on platter.
  • Drizzle glaze over.
  • Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

  • Trim the root ends of the sprouts, remove dried outer leaves and cut each sprout in half. Toss with a tablespoonful or so of olive oil and roast uncovered in a preheated 325º oven about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove when the sprouts are cooked through and starting to brown and char along the edges. Meanwhile, in a pan large enough to contain all the ingredients, sauté the bacon until just starting to crisp at the edges and remove to drain on paper towel. Pour all but 1 T of the bacon grease from the pan and discard. Add the mustard seeds to the pan and stir over medium high heat until they start to pop. Add the onions and apples, lower the heat to medium and sauté , stirring occasionally, until starting to turn soft, about 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in the sugar, wine and vinegar, raise the heat to medium high and cook, stirring, several minutes until the liquid is reduced to a syrup. Remove from heat and stir in the mustard. Chop the bacon and add it to the pan, then add the sprouts to the pan and stir and toss to combine. Correct seasoning. May be served immediately or at room temperature. Note: to make ahead, slightly undercook the sprouts so they will finish cooking when reheated.

ROASTED ONIONS WITH HONEY AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR



Roasted Onions With Honey and Balsamic Vinegar image

This recipe is from Tyler Florence, a side to his Prime Rib recipe. I've made it a few times and substituted 1 package frozen pearl onions, thawed, for the red onions, and added medium sized button mushrooms half way through the cooking time. I was never sure just how much a 'half bunch' of fresh thyme was, (and rarely have it on hand) so I used a little less than a tblsp of dried thyme. I also doubled the sauce recipe, due to the size of the onion pkg, and addition of the mushrooms. Delicious.

BALSAMIC ROASTED CHICKEN WITH FIGS AND SWEET ONIONS



Balsamic Roasted Chicken With Figs and Sweet Onions image

I found this recipe on nourishingmeals.com and thought it was absolutely divine! Something every fig plucker must try :) The original recipe calls for a whole chicken but I have used chicken breasts and it turns out just as juicy and tender, though the cooking time should be reduced accordingly. I have altered the original in order to incorporate amounts and seasoning.

Provided by Peachie Keene

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 2h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds)
Mrs. Dash table blend seasoning, to taste (or other)
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 large sweet onion, chopped
20 fresh figs, fully intact with stems removed
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
fresh rosemary sprig

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Rinse chicken under cold running water. Place it into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or other roasting pan. Generously sprinkle with Ms. Dash and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Place the chopped onion inside the cavity of the chicken and around it on the bottom of the pan. Place the figs around the chicken.
  • Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and maple syrup in a small bowl or cup. Pour over the chicken. Place a few fresh rosemary springs on and around the chicken.
  • Add about 1/4 cup of water to the bottom of the pan.
  • Place in the oven and roast at 475 degrees for about 20 minutes to seal in the juices. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and continue to cook until juices run clear, about another 1 1/2 hours.

ROASTED VIDALIA ONIONS WITH BALSAMIC SAUCE**** RECIPE



Roasted Vidalia Onions with Balsamic Sauce**** Recipe image

Provided by Gigirox

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds baby Vidalia onions (about 6 onions)
2 T olive oil
1/2 tsp hot sauce
3 T butter
1-1/2 T sugar
3 tablespoons top quality balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with foil. Trim the stalk ends from the onions, cutting crosswise about 4 - 6" above the bulbs. Shave the root ends from the onions and cut in half lengthwise. Toss the onions with the oil and hot sauce and lay out on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt. Roast in a preheated 500º oven until onions are brown and tender, turning once, about 15 minutes. Melt butter in heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sugar and stir until it dissolves. Remove from heat. Add vinegar. Return to heat. Simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Drizzle glaze over the onions before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose small to medium-sized onions for roasting, as they will cook more evenly and caramelize beautifully.
  • Make sure to slice the onions evenly so that they cook at the same rate.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar for the best flavor. A thick, syrupy balsamic will coat the onions nicely and create a delicious glaze.
  • Roast the onions at a high temperature to caramelize them quickly. This will bring out their natural sweetness and give them a slightly crispy texture.
  • Keep an eye on the onions while they are roasting to make sure they don't burn.
  • Once the onions are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish and drizzle with additional balsamic vinegar, if desired.
  • Roasted balsamic onions can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or topping for salads, pizzas, and sandwiches.

Conclusion:

Roasted balsamic onions are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them sweet, tangy, or savory, roasted balsamic onions are sure to please. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish or appetizer, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
