Ingredients

• 20 oz. Cipollini Onions (1.25 lb) ~ $6
  Cipollini onions are known for their sweetness. They are small and flat on either end, making them look like little discs. I was prepared to replace them with pearl onions, which are also sweet, but was surprised when I didn’t have to. Sometimes your local supermarket carries them in small amounts. Search in the onion section. They may just have a few small packages (10 oz. each) of cipollini onions lying around.
• 1 tbsp Canola Oil
• 4 fresh Thyme Sprigs ~ $0.50
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic, crushed, with skin left on
• 1/2 cup Chicken Stock

Instructions for Honey-Glazed Cipollini Onions

This recipe can be found in Thomas Keller’s cookbook, ad hoc at home. I would recommend using a large heavy-bottomed pan for the execution of this recipe. The onions need to have their own space on the pan to brown properly. Don’t move them around too much. Just allow them to brown nicely and be patient.


You will need to transfer the pan with your browned onions directly into the oven, so make sure that your pan is also oven-proof.

Result

My only regret after I made this dish was that there weren’t too many onions per person. I ended up serving about 4 onions per person. The next time I make this, I will try to double it or make one and a half times the recipe since there was still some space on my pan. Otherwise, this was such an easy dish to make and so tasty!!
