Roasted Caramelized Balsamic Onions Recipes

ROASTED CARAMELIZED BALSAMIC ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450*F.
• Cut the onions into halves at the equators.
• Remove the skin and any tough outer layers.
• Do not cut off the root and stem ends and be careful not to score the layers you don't remove: uncut, the outer layer will better hold the onion together as it roasts.
• Place the onion halves cut side down in a 9-inch square baking pan.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper.
• Pour over the onions.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, and then turn the onions over and baste them with the pan juices.
• Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, until easily pierced with a paring knife and the inner rings have begun to swell and rise up.
• Serve immediately or at room temperature.
• Enjoy!

BALSAMIC CARAMELISED ONIONS

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients apart from the vinegar in a slow cooker - or a very low oven or aga (50degreesC)
• Let it cook all day - and all night if it needs it - untill the onions are soft and dark brown and reduced. If it is crisping the heat is too high. You may need to stirr it occasionally - but i usually just leave it.
• Cook for the last half hour without a lid - to help it dry out a bit.
• Stirr in the balsamic vinegar. Done!
• I serve this with Lamb or Beef - but I also keep pots of it in the freezer to top homemade bread - or to put on puff pastry with brie.

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.)
