Sweet and Sour Onion Agrodolce with Raisins

What you need

• 500 g (1 lb) onions, red or white, halved and thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Put the raisins in a small bowl, cover with warm water and leave to plump for 10 min. Drain.

2. 2

   Warm the olive oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat.

3. 3

   Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring now and then, until soft and translucent, 10-12 min. Lower the heat if they start to brown at the edges.

4. 4

   Stir in the raisins and the sugar and cook for 2 min so the sugar melts into the onions.

5. 5

   Pour in the vinegar and let it bubble for 1 min, until the sharp smell softens.

6. 6

   Simmer gently, stirring often, until the liquid thickens and turns glossy around the onions, 6-8 min. Add a splash of water if the pan dries out before the onions are tender.

7. 7

   Taste and balance with more salt, a little more vinegar or a pinch more sugar. Grind in black pepper.

8. 8

   Spoon it over grilled fish, roast meat or vegetables, hot or cooled. It keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days.
