Balsamic White Pearl Onions Recipe
Description
Balsamic White Pearl Onions Recipe takes frozen pearl onions and gently cooks them until tender and caramelized in a buttery pan. The combination of brown sugar and balsamic vinegar brings both sweetness and acidity that balance the onions' natural mildness. Dijon mustard adds a subtle sharpness to the sauce. Simmering with occasional stirring and a little vegetable broth helps the onions absorb the flavors and maintain a nice moist texture. Finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for color and a hint of freshness, the dish offers a glossy, flavorful accompaniment.
The onions are cooked over medium heat for a total of about 30 to 35 minutes, developing a tender inside and a slightly sticky, flavorful coating on the outside. This side dish fits well alongside roasted chicken, pork, or beef, adding complexity without overpowering the main course.
Ingredients
- 14.4 ounces pearl onions frozen
- 1 tablespoon butter divided, unsalted
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3-4 tablespoons vegetable broth low sodium
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt coarse
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper ground
- parsley chopped and optional, fresh
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt 1/2 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, stirring and cooking for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard. Set aside.
- Stir in the brown sugar until fully coated. Stir in the vinegar mixture. Cover and reduce the heat. Cook for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the onions get too dry, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable broth. You may not need the whole amount of broth.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter, salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot.
