Equipment

  • - Non-stick Skillet or Frying Pan (for sautéing onions)

  • - Pinata Knife or Paring Knife (to peel and prepare cipollini onions)

  • - Balsamic Vinegar (as a primary ingredient for creating the braising liquid)

  • - Seasonings such as salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary (depending on personal taste and recipe specifics)

  • - Digital Kitchen Scale (for precise ingredient measurements, though optional for home cooks who prefer less precision)
