💡 Tips and Variations
For a more intense flavour, you can add a sprinkle of black pepper or substitute the Marsala wine with another sweet Sicilian wine like Moscato di Pantelleria.
📦 Storage
- • Store the onions in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- • You can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
