Ingredients
Scale
- 2 10-ounce bags pearl onions, trimmed and peeled
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine pearl onions, white wine, olive oil, water, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until onions are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 30-40 minutes.

- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the onions are well glazed, about 5-10 minutes.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed and serve warm.
Notes
Using peeled pearl onions saves time; if using fresh, blanch and peel before cooking. The glaze can be adjusted for sweetness or tang by varying the balsamic vinegar amount. This dish pairs well with roasted meats or as a flavorful side for holiday meals.
