Fresh Cipollini Onions 10 lb.

Details

Add fresh new flavor to your menu with these fresh cipollini onions! Cipollini (pronounced chee-po-LEE-nee) onions are native to the Mediterranean and have long been a staple in Italian cuisine, though they're beginning to gain popularity in American culinary circles. Cipollini onions are smaller and shorter than conventional yellow onions, with a squat stature, light yellow skins, and white flesh. They have a milder flavor than yellow onions, with a pronounced sweetness that makes them ideal for serving on their own. This bulk supply of 10 lb. of cipollini onions will keep your establishment well stocked with this specialty ingredient!

To peel cipollini onions, bring a saucepan of water to a boil, add the onions, and cook for 2 minutes. Carefully remove the onions and allow them to cool slightly before slicing the tops off the onions and slipping the skins off. Be sure to trim off any hairy roots, but leave the stem end intact so the onions don't fall apart. In traditional Italian cuisine, cipollini onions are served whole in a sweet and sour sauce. Recreate the cipollini agrodolce recipe by cooking peeled cipollini onions in browned butter, then steaming them with salt, sugar, and balsamic vinegar. This traditional dish makes a delicious side to meat and fish entrees! Cipollini onions can also be roasted or sauteed whole to create delicious side dishes. Serve them with aromatic herbs like thyme or rosemary to make a fantastic gourmet substitute for pearl onions as a holiday side! No matter how you choose to use them, these petite cipollini onions will be a standout addition to your menu.
