If you’ve never considered onions a side-dish worthy vegetable unto themselves, this recipe will make you change your mind. Onions are cooked in a buttery miso sauce until they’re fall-apart tender. If there’s a better side dish for chicken, we haven’t seen it!
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.
