Wine-Braised Cipollini Onions

Ingredients:
2 T butter
2 pounds cipollini onions, peeled
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Preparing the onions:
In a large straight-sided saute pan over medium-high heat, melt butter and add onions. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Saute until nicely browned then add the wine and vinegar. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer until onions are completely cooked through and tender, about 15 minutes. Remove lid, turn heat up and let the liquid reduce and thicken until it forms a glaze and coats the onions well.

Serves 6 to 8
