Braised Cipollini Onions (Organic Recipe)
From Jesse Cool
Cipollini onions are ideal to cook alongside roasting meats or chicken. Add them at the very beginning; they impart flavor and act as a side dish.
½-1 cup organic vegetable or chicken broth
½ cup ruby port
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
½ pound organic cipollini onions or other small onions
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ teaspoon salt
Place ½ cup of the broth, the port, and thyme in a large skillet over high heat. Add the onions and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. or until the onions are very soft. Add the remaining ½ cup broth if all of the liquid evaporates.
When the onions are cooked, you should have ¼ cup reduced sauce If you have more sauce, uncover and simmer over medium-high heat until reduced to ¼ cup.
Add the brown sugar, butter, and salt and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Makes 4 servings
