These glazed pearl onions in port offer a sophisticated twist on a classic side dish, bringing a deep, savoury sweetness to any roast dinner. The ruby Port creates a glossy, rich reduction that coats the tender onions beautifully, while the fresh bay leaves provide an aromatic, herbal undertone. It is an elegant accompaniment that pairs perfectly with roasted meats or nut roasts, offering a refined balance of acidity and sugar.
As a naturally dairy-free option, this dish is an excellent choice for inclusive entertaining. The onions can be prepared up to two days in advance, making it a stress-free addition to your festive menu or a special Sunday lunch. Serve them at room temperature to allow the complex flavours of the Port and balsamic vinegar to shine through.
