Directions

  2. Cut out a 10-inch round of parchment paper.
  3. Heat sugar in center of a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it starts to melt. Cook, tilting skillet occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until golden brown. Stir in butter, then add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.

  7. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  8. Cipolline can be made 2 days ahead and chilled.
