Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g pearl onions
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 120 ml vegetable stock
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Peel the pearl onions by blanching them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then transferring to an ice bath. The skins should slip off easily after this step.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the peeled pearl onions to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and slightly caramelized.
Stir in the honey and brown sugar, coating the onions evenly.
Pour in the vegetable stock, then season with salt, black pepper, and thyme.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze and the onions are tender.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Remove from heat and serve the honey glazed pearl onions warm. Garnish with additional thyme leaves, if desired.
