Green beans with roasted onions

12 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Non-stick vegetable oil spray
6 mediums (2.5lbs) onions
6 tablespoons Butter
2 cups Low-salt chicken broth
3 tablespoons Sugar
2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
3 pounds Slender green beans; ends trimmed
Salt and pepper

Directions

Peel and cut onions vertically through root end into 12-14 wedges.

Preheat oven to 450F. Spray 2 heavy large baking sheets with vegetable oil spray. Arrange onions in single layer on prepared sheets. Dot onions with 4 tablespoons butter, dividing equally. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until onions are dark brown on bottom, about 35 minutes.

Meanwhile, boil broth in heavy large skillet until reduced to ½ cup, about 6 minutes. Add sugar and vinegar and whisk until sugar disolves and mixture come to boil.

Add onions to sauce; reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over low heat before continuing.)

Cook green beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well. Return beans to same pot. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and toss to coat. Mound beans in large shallow bowl. Top with onion mixture and serve.

NOTES : The recipe is easy to halve.
