Pearl onions in sherry vinegar
Tapas classic with a sweet and sour note
This tapas dish is also great as a side dish with boiled or grilled meat and game dishes.
Sherry vinegar has a very special and distinct flavor. It is made with sherry and is ideal for salads, sauces and meat dishes.
If you don’t have sherry vinegar, you can also use a good balsamic vinegar.
