From Microwave Entertaining. Be wary of cooking times for your microwave, this is a rather old cook book, and I believe the wattages have gone up from the time it was published. My suggestion is if you have a newer microwave to only microwave for one minute the first time, adding +30 on until its hot or syrupy, three the second, then one , adding +30 until tender :) unless you have an old low wattage microwave like me! Please note, the recipe calls for green onions/scallions, other large onions are not an do-able substitution. Ingredients:
1 large lemon (unblemished) |
1 lb green onion (about 4 bunches) |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Peel lemon, spiraling down from top to bottom - producing one long wide peel.
2. Cut peel lengthwise into quarters to get 6 long, thin strips; set aside.
3. Squeeze 1 tbsp lemon juice.
4. Remove tips and ends of green onions and peel the outer layer.
5. Divide the onions into 6 bunches, tying each with a strip of lemon peel.
6. Arrange the bunches of onions in a 3 quart rectangle shaped microwave-safe dish.
7. In a 1 cup microwave safe dish, combine lemon juice, vinegar, sugar and salt.
8. Cook on high 2-3 minutes or until hot and syrupy; pour over onions.
9. Cover onions with plastic wrap.
10. Turn back one side.
11. Cook on high 3 minutes.
12. Rearrange onions.
13. Cook another 2-3 minutes or more until tender.
14. Let stand 2 minutes.
