This is an interesting twist on Sicilian agrodolce (sweet and sour) roasted
vegetables, adapted from "Nicole Routhier's Fruit Cookbook."
1. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Heat large pot of salted water to boil. Add
onions. Quickly drain onions; rinse under cold water. Peel onions.
2. Combine olive oil, vinegar and brown sugar in a 13- by 9-inch baking
dish. Add carrots, turnips, onions; toss to coat with seasoning. Season to
taste with salt and pepper.
3. Roast, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp tender and
caramelized, about 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven; stir in cranberries,
currants, toasted pine nuts and basil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Note: 2 cups peeled, frozen pearl onions may be substituted for fresh.
