Agrodolce onions

Agrodolce means sweet-sour in Italian and that’s exactly what these slow-roasted onions are. They would make the perfect accompaniment to steak.

Onions

Onions, or alliums, come in many shapes and sizes. Brown or white onions have the strongest flavour, while red onions and shallots are milder and slightly sweeter. Look for dry, papery skin - this should ensure the onion is fresh and juicy inside.
