By draingal

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. butter, melted
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp. dry white wine, chicken broth, or water
• 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 4 medium yellow onions
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a 3-quart rectangular baking dish (not aluminum) combine butter and oil. Whisk in vinegar, wine, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
Peel off papery outer layers of onions, but do not cut off either end. Cut onions in half from stems through root ends. Place onion halves in the baking dish, cut sides up. Cover loosely with foil and bake in a 425° oven for 25 minutes.
Remove foil and use tongs to carefully turn onions cut side down. Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes longer or until onions are tender and balsamic mixture is thickened and caramelized. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
