Sicilian-Style Onion Agrodolce

PREP TIME: 5 minutes
COOK TIME: 5 minutes

Ingredients
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large Peri and Sons red onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

To Serve:
Grilled sourdough or ciabatta
Grilled steak or fish
Good olive oil

Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and sauté for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften.

Add the sliced garlic, red pepper flakes, golden raisins, and fresh thyme. Continue sautéing for another 4–5 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant and the raisins to soften.

Stir in the honey and red wine vinegar, then season with kosher salt and black pepper. Continue cooking for another 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and the mixture becomes glossy, jammy, and lightly caramelized.

Transfer the onion agrodolce to a serving bowl and garnish with additional fresh thyme leaves.

Serve warm or at room temperature with grilled steak or fish, crusty bread, or as part of a Mediterranean-style antipasto platter.
