I have a deep love for balsamic vinegar and try to find various ways to incorporate it into dishes. Caramelized onions are another love of mine, and if you have been on social media, they have been having a moment. I wanted to create a dish that combined the two ingredients into a delicious, comfort food dish that is easy to make. This recipe would be great served with roasted veggies, rice, cauliflower rice, or gluten-free pasta.
