Gnocchi with Caramelized Onions and Gruyère
RecipeIngredients:
2 pounds yellow onions (about 2 large or 4 medium), halved and thinly sliced
1 small bunch fresh thyme, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 (16- to 18-ounce) packages fresh, shelf-stable, or frozen potato gnocchi
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
6 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon balsamic or sherry vinegar
Directions:
Prepare the gnocchi: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch broiler-safe skillet over medium heat. Add one package of gnocchi and cook undisturbed until golden-brown, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the second package.
Caramelize the onions: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, half the thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until onions are golden and reduced by half, about 30 minutes.
Deglaze with wine: Pour wine over caramelized onions, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in vinegar.
Combine and broil: Return gnocchi to the skillet, stirring to mix. Spread evenly, top with grated Gruyère, and broil until cheese is bubbly and browned, 4-6 minutes. Garnish with remaining thyme and black pepper.
