GLAZED ONIONS AGRODOLCE
These onions agrodolce, or sweet-and-sour onions, are a perfect example of how I cook in Italy. I buy my produce from the local town and season it with garden herbs and wild fennel from the hillsides. This creates an enticing and organic dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cover the bottom of a medium, heavy-bottomed baking dish with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and fennel fronds. Season with salt.
- Cut the onions in quarters lengthwise. Trim the root ends of the onions, still leaving them intact. Lay the onions cut side down in the baking dish in concentric circles, fitting them closely together. Nestle a fresh bay leaf between every few onion halves and top with the sage. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and a few drops of balsamic vinegar. Season with salt.
- Cover the pan with heavy-duty, restaurant-grade plastic wrap, which won't melt in the oven, and then aluminum foil. (Conventional plastic wrap will melt in the oven, so if you do not have restaurant-grade plastic wrap, skip it.) Put the onions in the oven until they're softened, about 40 minutes.
- To check for doneness, remove the baking dish from the oven and carefully lift up one segment of the foil and plastic if you're using it, taking care not to burn yourself from the steam that arises from the pan; use a small sharp knife to check to see if the onions are tender. Otherwise, return the foil and plastic and return the onions to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until they're tender.

Steps:
- Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Drop in the onions and boil 2 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
- Use a small, sharp knife to slice off the top of the onions, then slip off the skins. Trim any hairy roots, but leave the stem end intact so that the onions don't separate. If the onions are larger than 1 1/2-inches diameter, slice into halves or quarters.
- Heat the butter and oil in a medium (8-10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter stops foaming and begins to smell nutty, add the onions to the pan. Cook 5 minutes, or until the onions are browned, stirring occasionally.
- Sprinkle the onions with the sugar and salt. Pour the water and vinegar over them (the pan will sputter). Turn the heat down to medium and cover the pan. Cook 5 minutes.
- Uncover the pan and continue cooking until the liquid in the pan looks syrupy and has large bubbles, another 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with the thyme and serve.

PORK AGRODOLCE
Agrodolce, a generic Italian term for any type of sweet and sour condiment, really shines when used for braising chunks of succulent pork shoulder. This soul-warming comfort food is amazing served on rice, pasta, polenta, or, as seen here, a big pile of ricotta mashed potatoes. I'm not sure if Italians barbecue like we do here in the States, but the sauce very much reminded me of something we'd brush on a rack of ribs while sipping a cold beer.

CIPOLLINE IN AGRODOLCE
I found this recipe for my Italian FIL. He said he'd never heard of them but his mother DID make "jubilee onions." I figure if calamari = galama, sopressata - soopesage, cavatelli = gavadeel, then cipollini = jubilee. This is a very simple, straightforward recipe as are many Italian recipes.

ONIONS AGRODOLCE
I love onions as a feature vegetable and plan to serve these for Christmas dinner. You need to shake the pan often as they cook because the sugar, fruit and port in there is liable to male them catch.

LAMB SCALLOPINI WITH PEPPER AND ONION AGRODOLCE
Every year around Easter we normally do some kind of roast lamb recipe, like a big ol' leg of lamb, which is perfect for a large family gathering, but I have a feeling this year's gonna be a little bit different--so we're gonna go with nice, thin medallions. Unlike those large, more expensive cuts of meat, this is super easy to achieve perfect doneness, which means less anxiety and stress. Serve with crispy pan-fried potatoes.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil for agrodolce in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion with a pinch of salt in the hot oil until they start to soften up and take on some color, 4 to 5 minutes. Drizzle in more olive oil if the onions look dry. Add chile peppers and garlic; cook until peppers just start to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add dried mint and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar; cook, stirring, for exactly 1 minute. Turn off the heat. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the lamb into four equal 4-ounce pieces and pound between plastic wrap to about 1/8-inch thick medallions. Trim any easy-to-cut silver skin off if you like. Transfer to a Silpat®-lined baking sheet and season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Dust both sides of the meat generously with flour using a sifter and let sit for at least 10 minutes before frying.
- While lamb rests, stir salt and pepper to taste, cayenne, remaining 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, rosemary, and parsley into the agrodolce mixture. Taste and adjust, adding more salt, oil, and/or vinegar as you see fit. Reserve until needed; keep in fridge if making ahead, but let come to room temperature before serving.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, but not quite smoking. Pan-fry the lamb medallions until browned, about 2 minutes per side. They are very thin, so be careful not to overcook. Serve immediately topped with the agrodolce.

Steps:

Place beef in pan; sear until well browned on all sides. Transfer to oven; roast 30 to 40 minutes, or until internal temperature is 130 degrees for medium rare.
