Categories     Vegetable     Thanksgiving

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds pearl onions
1 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2/3 cup slivered almonds,
4 teaspoons wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Boil onions for 3 minutes to loosen skins. Cut root end from onions and squeeze out onions. Combine onions, sherry, raisins, honey, water, butter, and thyme in heavy large skillet.

Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat. Stir in almonds and sherry wine vinegar ( and a few teaspoons of water if dry), and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality bulgur: Choose whole grain bulgur for its nutty flavor and higher fiber content.
  • Rinse the bulgur before cooking: This removes any impurities and helps the bulgur cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful broth: Vegetable or chicken broth adds depth of flavor to the bulgur.
  • Sauté the onions and almonds: This step enhances their flavor and adds a nice texture to the dish.
  • Add dried fruits or nuts: For a sweeter and more textural variation, consider adding dried cranberries, raisins, or chopped walnuts.
  • Season to taste: Adjust the amount of salt, pepper, and herbs based on your personal preference.
