How to Make Balsamic Glazed Pearl Onions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 16 ounces (2 cups) of frozen pearl onions (or 1 pound fresh pearl onions, blanched in boiling water for 2 minutes, cooled, and peeled).
- Sauté the onions until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 1/4 cup water.
- Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- Transfer the onions to a bowl using a slotted spoon, reserving the cooking liquid in the skillet.
- Increase the heat to medium and simmer the reserved liquid until it thickens and reduces to about 1/2 cup, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of sugar (optional).
- Return the onions to the skillet and coat them thoroughly with the thickened balsamic glaze.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and glossy.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired.
