Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams pearl onions
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 120 milliliters chicken or vegetable stock
- 1.5 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons white pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the pearl onions and blanch them for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Trim the root ends of the blanched onions and gently squeeze each onion to pop it out of its skin. Discard the skins and set the peeled onions aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and stir constantly to make a roux. Cook for about 1 minute until the mixture is golden and has no raw flour smell.
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and chicken or vegetable stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the mixture starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the sugar, salt, and white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Add the peeled onions to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them in the creamy sauce.
Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and evenly glazed with the sauce.
Transfer the creamy glazed onions to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
