Onions Agrodolce - 30min, Medium, 67cal | EN

Name: Onions Agrodolce
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 6
Ingredients: unsalted butter; frozen pearl onions; sugar; Salt; red wine vinegar; bay leaves; Ground black pepper

Onions agrodolce, or Italian sweet and sour onions, are a delicious addition to an antipasto platter or a wonderful side dish with rich roasted meats and poultry. Tangy, sweet, and savory, they have immense appeal, so we set out to find what makes the combination of ingredients really work.

Combine the butter, onions, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and the sugar has caramelized, 8 to 9 minutes (you may need to scrape down the caramelized sugars from the sides of the pan with a rubber spatula to prevent burning).

Remove the pan from the heat and add the vinegar, bay leaves, remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/3 cup water. Stir to remove any browned bits stuck to the pan. Cover and place the pan over low heat. Simmer until the onions are soft and the liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons, 15 to 17 minutes.

Uncover, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook until the onions are very glossy and the liquid is reduced to a thick syrup, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and allow to cool at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
