Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (16 ounce) bags frozen white pearl onions, left frozen, excess ice removed
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
10 ounces red pearl onions, unpeeled
1 1/2 pounds parsnips, peeled, quartered lengthwise, cored and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 thin slices ginger
1 large sprig rosemary
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 to 2 teaspoons brandy (optional)
2 to 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
Freshly ground pepper
Chopped fresh parsley, for topping

Steps:

  • Fill a large skillet halfway with water; add a pinch of salt, cover and bring to a boil. Add the pearl onions and cook 1 minute to loosen the skins, then drain and rinse under cold water. Using kitchen shears, trim the root ends of the onions, then peel off the skins. Return the onions to the skillet.
  • Add the parsnips, ginger, rosemary, garlic, wine, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup water to the skillet with the onions. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates and the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. (If the liquid evaporates too quickly, add more water, 1/4 cup at a time.) Discard the ginger, garlic and rosemary. (The vegetables can be made up to 3 hours ahead to this point; cover and refrigerate.)
  • Reduce the heat to medium high; add the vinegar, brandy and butter and cook, stirring, until the vegetables just start to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and cook, swirling the pan, until the vegetables are glazed, about 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper and top with parsley.

Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Categories     Side Dish     Sides

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds pearl onions (see note)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoons sugar
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Using a paring knife, trim off the ends of each onion and score a light "X" into one cut side. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add onions and cook until outer layers are soft, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain onions and run under cool water until cold enough to handle. Peel onions with your fingers and discard peels.
  • Transfer onions to a large saucepan or high-sided sauté pan and cover with water. Add butter and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring and shaking pan occasionally, until onions are completely tender and sauce water has reduced and emulsified with the butter into a glossy glaze, about 25 minutes (if butter looks greasy or broken, add 2 tablespoons of water and shake pan to bring glaze back together). Season to taste with salt. Stir in parsley, and serve. This Recipe Appears In The Food Lab: Two Pearl Onion Recipes
