Almond Glazed Onions Recipes

ALMOND GLAZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Place onions in a large saucepan with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to boil; cook until onions are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; slip off skins.
• Melt butter and sugar in a deep skillet over medium heat. Stir in water and skinned onions. Cook, stirring, until onions begin to color, about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the almonds into the skillet. Cook and stir until onions are golden and almonds are lightly toasted, 4 to 5 additional minutes.

FESTIVE ONIONS

Steps:

• Saute onions in butter or margarine until transparent. Place in 2-quart baking dish.
• In a small bowl, beat eggs well. Stir in cream, and season with salt and pepper. Pour mixture over onions, and sprinkle cheese.
• Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 15 to 20 minutes.

GLAZED PEARL ONIONS WITH RAISINS AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add onions, and cook 3 minutes to loosen skins. Drain, and cool slightly. Cut root ends from onions. Squeeze onions at stem end (onions will slip out of skins). If using frozen pearl onions, skip this step and simply defrost them.
• Combine pearl onions, sherry, raisins, honey, water, butter and thyme in a heavy large skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid evaporates and onions begin to caramelize, stirring often, about 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove from heat and stir in almonds and vinegar. Add a few teaspoons of water if mixture is too dry. Serve warm.

SWEET AND SOUR CIPOLLINI ONIONS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add onions and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and stir until well coated with butter. Season with salt. Cook and stir until onions are brown and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Pour in vinegar and sprinkle with sugar. Continue cooking and stirring until vinegar comes to a boil. Boil until vinegar thickens and glazes onions, about 5 minutes. Serve hot or cooled with vinegar syrup drizzled on top.
