I made with large shallots, but had to reduce temperature to 400F (200C) as they browned too quickly after removing the foil...cooked for an extra 25 minutes, let sit for an hour in warm oven. Texture was velvety, sauce was thickened and flavor was on point

Love this recipe as is but I also use the sauce for carrots and pearl onions and it’s amazing!!

I made these as a side dish to our dinner and my family loved them. They asked for more! Sadly I did not make enough but now I know to make plenty. leftovers are lovely on toast for lunch. Maybe add a few mushrooms or other veggie too? Enjoy! My recommendation ....make plenty.

These onions were so delicious! It did seem like a lot of water but the sauce came out perfect and not salty. I served these with a beef tenderloin and then used the extra sauce for French Dip! Highly recommend this recipe! So savory!

I've made these before, and am making them again this Thanksgiving. In the past, I threw the whole thing in the blender and used it as gravy. It's a little sweeter than your average gravy, but this would solve the problem of it having too much liquid. I'm making a buttermilk brined turkey breast so there's not to much to make gravy with. This is a good solution.

I'm guessing you could substitute a curry or even a good tomato paste? It's a very different vibe, but I have those on hand more than miso paste. Either way, you can hardly go wrong with braised onions.

I use 3/4 of the water and it turned out beautifully. I also had to reduce the heat a bit because it was browning too quickly. Great flavor - we had it as a simple dinner with rice and it was lovely.

As others have commented, there is at least 50% more water than necessary for the amount of time given for reduction. I left mine in at least another 45 minutes before the liquid was almost reduced like the picture, and even removed some to add to a pork roast pan sauce. They were almost too salty, which I attribute to the type of miso used.

This is soooo good! A quart of water seemed like a lot of liquid at first but I ended up keeping it in the oven an extra ten minutes for the sauce to cook down. The onions and sauce spooned on top of rice accompanying roasted chicken is the tastiest comforting meal ever!! So easy. Will definitely be making again.

What kind of miso did you use? Most miso pastes have around 12 g of salt per 100 g, but white miso is often around 6 g, sometimes even lower. I think the recipe is tailored for white miso. Using a reddish miso, I lowered the quantity from 100 g to 60 g and it was delicious.

Ooooh, this is sooooo good.
I thought it was too much liquid but I trusted the recipe and let it cook. At 500°F, the liquid reduced and thickened to a very flavorful sauce in less than the indicated time. In fact, mine was done 10 or 15 minutes before and it burns very quickly — so keep an eye on it.
And it says it serves 6 but these are so delicious, I would say it serves 4.

Taste is a 10+. The sauce took 3 hours in the oven to reduce to more-or-less decent consistency. Next time, 2/3 of the water.

I think there has to be a mistake with the recipe. The quart of water literally leaves your onions swimming! Mine fell apart and became a nice soup. Word of warning, maybe half the water and baste as needed while in oven.

This was challenging to make with shallots because they were too short for the quantity of liquid called for and floated all around the roasting dish. The flavors were incredible if a bit strong so I don’t think I splice serve it as a stand-alone side, but it was heavenly with some potatoes.

This is sooo good. On a whim, I pureed leftovers which became an amazing gravy.
