Recipes Side Dishes Marsala Cipollini Onions 1 Review At Tavernetta in Denver, chef Ian Wortham tops grilled lamb steak with cipollini onions caramelized in Marsala wine for a stunning, mostly make-ahead main course. The sweet-and-sourness of the onions plays beautifully against the richness of the lamb, and also goes well with turkey, roast chicken, and beef.
