Default What to do with a bunch of little onions?

Mostly my garden went quite well this year though I'm a newbie at it. But, my onions are all done growing though none are much bigger than an inch across. I have a whole mess of them, maybe four dozen. I guess I could just chop them up like big onions and use them in recipes. But, it seems like my little onions could be used to make something unique. Ideas? I LOVE onions, so they don't have to be disguised in the dish! I'll happily eat sauteed onions.

Are they pearl onions, or just yellow onions that stayed fairly small?

Pearl onions are great in stews, soups, etc.

camalize them with veggie stock and add some balsamic when they are almost done. I love camelized onions. I found a really good camelize onion recipe in diabetic living a few years ago and thats basically the jist of it.

They're regular old white onions grown from sets. The tops are dead, dying or gone so they aren't going to grow any more!

Trim the tops to one inch or less, spread them out on a rack for a couple days to let the skins dry. It makes it easier to peel. Caramelizing is yummy!

Or, try thin slices, mixed with a good vinegar (white wine or apple cider), a bit of salt and a quick grinding of black pepper - adding in a touch of sugar, and/or some fresh herbs - quickie pickle, crunchy and will keep a long time in the fridge.

Spear some peeled onions on a skewer, spray/brush with olive oil, and grill 'til slightly blackened, and smelling great. Cut in to chunks, and use in a salad, or over grilled chicken, fish or meat, or nibble.
