Balsamic Roasted Onions And Potatoes Food

BALSAMIC POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Wash potatoes, remove any blemishes, but do not peel.
• Clean and peel onions, but leave whole.
• Place potatoes and onions in a deep baking dish that has a lid.
• Sprinkle vinegar over potatoes and onions.
• Dot butter around the top.
• Sprinkle thyme leaves and salt and pepper evenly over everything.
• Place lid on dish (seal with foil if no lid), and place in the oven.
• Bake for 2 hours (yes, 2 hours is correct), stirring gently every 1/2 hour.
• Turn down heat if the glaze starts to burn.
• The butter and vinegar will have reduced to a thick glaze that coats the vegetables.

BALSAMIC POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
• Peel the potatoes, cut them into even-sized chunky wedges and parboil in a large pan of boiling salted water for 10 minutes.
• Drain in a colander, leave to steam dry completely, then divide the wedges between two large roasting trays.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil into each tray, and season with sea salt and black pepper. Toss together and spread out into a single layer. Roast for 45 minutes, or until lightly golden, tossing gently halfway.
• Meanwhile, peel and slice the onions and garlic. When the time's up on the potatoes, scatter over the onions and garlic, then pour over the balsamic.
• Roast for 50 minutes to 1 hour, using a fish slice to carefully turn the potatoes in all the sticky balsamic yumminess a few times during cooking, and adding the butter and thyme leaves to the party for the last 10 minutes. In the spirit of this bonkers but genius dish, if you're in any doubt when you turn them that it's doing the right thing, just be brave and add an extra drizzle of balsamic, then return to the oven until gnarly and roasted.
• Serve on a platter sprinkled with the rocket. This is amazing served as a side dish with any roasted or grilled meat, but is also brilliant as part of a Boxing Day buffet spread with cold cuts of meat. I've even enjoyed it as a lovely lunch with a big old salad. Delicious.

ROASTED POTATOES, ONIONS, AND CARROTS WITH BROWN SUGAR AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Place potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, sage, and basil in a large bowl; add oil and balsamic vinegar and toss to coat. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven, tossing a couple of times for even cooking, until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with brown sugar. Continue to roast for 10 minutes. Season with sea salt and pepper just prior to serving.

BALSAMIC ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut the onions in half and slice 1/4 inch thick. Place on a baking sheet and toss with 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the onions are tender. Remove from the oven, toss with 2 more tablespoons balsamic vinegar.

BALSAMIC-BAKED ONIONS AND POTATOES WITH ROAST PORK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the potatoes into a pan of boiling, salted water and cook for around 8 minutes, then drain and return to the pan. Chuff them up a bit by shaking the pan.
• To prepare the meat, scatter a handful of finely chopped rosemary leaves over a large chopping board. Sprinkle over some salt and pepper and the ground fennel seeds. Roll the pork across the board, pressing down hard so all the flavorings stick to it.
• Get a large roasting pan that your pork will fit snugly into, and place it on a burner over a medium-high heat. Pour in a little olive oil and place the pork in, fat side down, sprinkled with any flavorings remaining on the board. After a few minutes, when the pork fat is lightly golden, turn it over and add the garlic cloves, onion, celery and bay leaves to the pan. Place on the bottom shelf of your preheated oven for 1 hour, basting it halfway through. (For the last 20 minutes of cooking, you may need to cover the pork with a bit of damp waxed paper to stop it coloring too much.)
• Get another roasting pan, into which you can fit the potatoes in 1 layer, and heat it on the stove. When hot, pour a glug of olive oil into it and add the butter, rosemary and garlic. Add the potatoes and toss them in all the flavors. Add the onions and all the balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes on the burner to reduce the balsamic vinegar a little. Place the pan on the top shelf and cook for around 50 minutes, until the potatoes and onions are dark, sticky and crispy - removing the pan to toss the onions and potatoes halfway through.
• After 1 hour, the meat should be cooked. Prick it with a sharp knife - if the juices run clear, it's done; if not, pop it back in the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, keeping the potatoes warm. Remove it from the oven and let it rest on a plate for 10 minutes. Pour away most of the fat from the pan and mash up the garlic and onion. Place the pan over the burner and add the white wine. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, scraping all the meaty, marmitey goodness off the bottom to make a tasty little sauce, and season if necessary. Pass through a sieve into a serving pitcher. Then slice the pork and serve it with your incredible baked onions and potatoes, drizzled with the pan juices. This meal goes great with some nice greens or an arugula salad.

• Line 2 large baking sheets with foil.
• Cut onions crosswise nearly, but not quite, all the way through. Make two or three more sectional cuts - always stopping before you cut through, so that onion is in 3/4-inch-thick wedges (the onion stays attached at one end and resembles an onion 'flower' (with very thick petals ;-) ).
• Place in medium bowl; toss with oil.
• Arrange onions, cut side down, on baking sheets.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast until onions are brown and tender, rotating pans in oven and turning onions once, about 45 minutes (they will caramelize and be quite dark in parts but, if you have coated them well with olive oil, will not have a 'burnt' taste).

• Add sugar and stir until sugar dissolves.
• Remove from heat.
• Add vinegar.
• Return to heat.
• Simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
