Roasted Onions With Balsamic Vinegar And Thyme Recipes

BALSAMIC ROASTED ONIONS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions to the pan and lay them flat on their sides. Cook on each side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned, being careful as you flip them. Add chicken stock, balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the pan. Add dots of butter around the pan. Turn the onions in the liquid so they are nice and coated.
• Place the skillet in the oven and roast for 25 minutes, stirring on occasion so the onions don't stick to the pan. Roast until the onions are nice and soft and the balsamic is caramelized.

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.
