“I am deeply, madly in love with onions. Caramelizing them adds another dimension of richness that further enhances their many uses. Caramelized onions can be used as a stuffing for ravioli, swirled into risotto, or simply used as a condiment to accompany almost any roasted meat or vegetable.
You can substitute leeks for a somewhat different but equally delicious flavor.”

“The sweetness of roasted red onions is further enhanced by the combination of balsamic vinegar and sugar. I particularly like this Asian-influenced sweet and sour agro dolce.
We use these as a condiment on steak and burgers or placed on top of goat or Gorgonzola cheese on toast.”
