Yield Makes 4 (hors d'oeuvre) servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 pound cipolline or small (1 1/2-inch) white boiling onions, peeled
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 fresh or dried bay leaf
Accompaniment:
Crisp Rosemary Flatbread

Steps:

  • Soak raisins in hot water until ready to use.
  • Cut out a 10-inch round of parchment paper.
  • Heat sugar in center of a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it starts to melt. Cook, tilting skillet occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until golden brown. Stir in butter, then add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add wine, bay leaf, 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and drained raisins.
  • Reduce heat to low and cover onions with parchment, then with lid. Gently simmer, shaking skillet occasionally, until onions are tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove lid and parchment, then simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 3 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This recipe is a waste of time. The onions were bland and the sauce was too sweet.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cipolline onions didn't caramelize. They just stayed hard and crunchy.

I'm not a big fan of onions, but this dish was surprisingly good. The sauce is what really makes it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cipolline onions. I always have a few extra after making onion soup.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The bay leaves and golden raisins add a touch of sophistication to the humble cipolline onion.

The cipolline onions were a bit hard to find, but they were worth the effort. This dish is a keeper!

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try using less raisins next time.

Followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out amazing! The onions were caramelized to perfection and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe.

Easy to make and absolutely delicious! I used red onions instead of cipolline onions, and they turned out great. The sauce was tangy and sweet, and the raisins added a nice chewy texture. I'll definitely be making this again.

This cipolline dish was a delightful surprise! The combination of bay leaves, golden raisins, and vinegar created a unique and flavorful sauce that perfectly complemented the tender onions. I served it as a side dish with grilled chicken, and it was
