Green Beans with Balsamic Carmelized Red Onions
Recipe from The Holiday Table with Chris Fenimore.
Ingredients:
1 pound green beans, trimmed
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons grenadine, optional
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 pounds red onions, thinly sliced
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
Heat 3 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large pan. Sauté the onions until they are caramelized and have a rich, deep brown color; this will take about 30 minutes.
Just before they onions are done, pour in the balsamic and optional grenadine. Continue to sauté until the liquids coat the onions. Season with salt & pepper.
Place in a large bowl and keep warm. Blend the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar and thyme and set aside in a separate mixing bowl.
Cook the beans in lightly salted water until just tender. Drain and mix with the onions. Pour the balsamic mix over the beans & onions.
