- Ingredients:
-
- 2 pounds fresh pearls onions or 2 bags
- (16 oz each) frozen pearl onions, thawed
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1/4 cup mild olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
-
- In a large sauce pan of boiling water, blanch the fresh onions
- for 1 minute. Drain and refresh under cold running water; drain.
- Using a small sharp knife, trim the root ends and slip off the skins.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small nonreactive saucepan,
- combine 1/4 cup of the balsamic vinegar, the butter, vegetable oil,
- thyme, 1 teaspoon of the pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and
- stir over moderately low heat until the butter is melted.
-
- In a medium bowl, toss the fresh or frozen onions with the vinegar
- mixture to coat. Spread the onions in a single layer on a baking
- sheet and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring often, until evenly
- browned.
-
- Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch the greens
- beans until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and refresh under
- cold running water; drain and set aside. In a large bowl combine
- the olive oil, mustard and the remaining 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
-
- Add the green beans and the roasted onions to the dressing in the
- bowl and toss well. Transfer the vegetables to a large casserole.
- (The recipe can be prepared to this point up to 1 day ahead;
- cover the casserole and refrigerate. Return to room temperature before proceeding.)
-
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cover and bake the green beans and
- onions for about 20 minutes, or until heated through.
