Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add onions and blanch for 2 minutes to loosen peels. Drain onions and, when cool enough to handle, peel.

Step 2

Heat butter and extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, stir to coat with butter and oil, then slowly add vinegar. Cook until vinegar evaporates by a third, about 5 minutes, then stir in honey.

Step 3

Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and sauce is creamy and caramel-colored, 30–40 minutes. Transfer to a large shallow serving bowl and season with pepper. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
