Glazed Pearl Onions With Raisins And Almonds Recipes

GLAZED PEARL ONIONS WITH RAISINS AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add onions, and cook 3 minutes to loosen skins. Drain, and cool slightly. Cut root ends from onions. Squeeze onions at stem end (onions will slip out of skins). If using frozen pearl onions, skip this step and simply defrost them.
• Combine pearl onions, sherry, raisins, honey, water, butter and thyme in a heavy large skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until liquid evaporates and onions begin to caramelize, stirring often, about 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove from heat and stir in almonds and vinegar. Add a few teaspoons of water if mixture is too dry. Serve warm.

GLAZED PEARL ONIONS

Steps:

• Dry the onions lightly, set aside.
• Melt the butter and oil in a heavy, 10-inch skillet.
• Add the onions, turn the heat to at least medium, maybe medium-high.
• Cook the onions, without stirring too much until they become golden on at least one side, maybe both.
• Turn the heat down, add the sugar, and cook until it scrapes up the base, and looks caramel. Avoid touching the sides of the pan, during this initial phase, as it may cause the sugar to harden against the sides, and not retrieve.
• Add the wine, and a generous pinch of salt, maybe 1/2 teaspoon, and cook, over medium-low heat, until the onions are well browned, and delicious, about 25 minutes.
• Do not serve them too al dente.
