Maybe ours weren't done well enough - people below are referring to the onions as 'caramelized' and ours weren't even close to being caramelized. The balsamic vinegar just rolled off of them and cooked onto the pan. We found them to be bland, as a result.

*Made for Australia N/Z Swap #42* Had some lovely vidalias, and this was quick and tasty ! The balsamic gives just a tad of sweetness, and I was sorry I had only prepared 2 ! Thanks for posting, ChefTraceyMae

Ohh my goodness, loved these! I misread the directions and cut the onions in half.... oops Ahh well didnt matter just cut the cooking time down a little and continued on. These little beauties still turned out a treat, such wondeful flavours from the balsamic vinegar... so delcious and so very easy! I served with a roast and the family thoroughly enjoyed these Tracey Mae. Thanks You so much for posting, my onions will be made this way from now on! Thanks again.
