A delightful side dish featuring tender pearl onions glazed in a rich balsamic reduction.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown too much; it should just melt and start to sizzle slightly.
Add the pearl onions to the skillet and sauté until they start to caramelize.
Stir occasionally to ensure even caramelization without burning.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
Garlic cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to prevent it from burning.
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and honey, stirring to coat the onions.
Mix well to ensure the onions are evenly coated in the glaze.
Simmer the mixture until the liquid reduces to a thick glaze.
Keep the heat low to prevent the glaze from burning as it thickens.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Taste the glaze before seasoning to adjust the balance of flavors.
Transfer the onions to a serving dish and drizzle with any remaining glaze.
For a touch of freshness, garnish with chopped parsley or thyme.
