--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      lb            Cipolline onions or
                        - small (1-1/2") onions
   4      tb            Virgin olive oil
   3      tb            Sweet butter
   2      tb            Sugar
   1      c             Balsamic vinegar
     1/2  c             Basic tomato sauce
   1      c             Water
   1      ts            Fresh rosemary leaves -- chopped

Peel the onions, leaving and washing any root strand you may find.

In a 12 to 14" saute pan over a medium high flame, heat virgin olive
oil until just smoking. Add butter and cook until foam subsides. Add
onions and saute until light golden brown on all sides, about 8 to
10 minutes. Add sugar, vinegar, tomato sauce, and water and bring to
a boil.

Cook onions uncovered, until just al dente, about 10 minutes. If
liquid dissipates too quickly, add more water, a 1/4 cup at a time,
realizing that it is essential not to overcook the onions. The sauce
should just adhere to the onions. Remove from saute pan to an
earthenware dish and hold in a warm place, or allow to cool if you
are serving them later or as an antipasto.

Yield: 4 Servings
