How to cook deliciously - Braised Onions

1. Stage

Blanch the onions: Blanch the onions in boiling water for one minute. Drain and rinse in cold water to stop cooking. Slice off the ends; slip off the skins. If you are using frozen pearl onions, defrost and drain them before the next step. 2a For "white-braised" onions: Put onions in one layer in a saucepan with chicken stock or water coming up halfway. Add 1 tablespoon butter, season lightly, cover, and simmer slowly 25 minutes, or until tender. 2b For "brown-braised" onions: Before braising, sauté peeled onions in one layer in butter until lightly browned. Then add liquid, salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar; cover and simmer slowly 25 minutes, or until tender.

2. Stage

Uncover and boil off excess liquid: Uncover, boil off excess liquid, and fold in another Tbsp of butter if you wish.

3. Stage

Optional: For "creamed" onions add some heavy cream to white-braised onions when they are just tender. Simmer several minutes until thickened, basting. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
