By blum099

Agrodolce, more a technique than one recipe, in Italian means sweet-sour, and it's going to be your new favorite condiment. Try this one with pork chops.

Ingredients

• 1 ⁄2 cup raisins
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 1⁄2 pounds cipolline or pearl onions,
• peeled
• 1 ⁄4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons sugar
• Kosher salt, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Put raisins into a small bowl; cover with hot water and let soften for 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes; pour off oil. Drain raisins. Add raisins, vinegar, and sugar and season with salt. Cook, stirring, until sauce thickens, 2–3 minutes.
