Borettane onions in a pan are perfect to accompany many dishes. A side dish that is very versatile and works wonderfully with both boiled meats and roasts. They are very easy to prepare and have a slightly sweet flavor and are also easier to digest than common onions. Very often borettane onions are available at the greengrocer already ready to cook, so you don’t even need to remove the outer layer; they are very tender and soft, so in a short time they are cooked and ready to serve. You can keep them firm and slightly crunchy, or continue cooking until very soft, depending on your preference. I also suggest checking Sausages with onions, Pork slices with grapes and small onions.

Clean the onions by removing the outer layer if still present and rinse them under running water. Now place the borettane onions in the pan and season with salt and pepper, letting them brown for a few minutes.
