This is my absolute favorite dish that my mom makes. The onions have a mild sweet flavor, and there's plenty of the rich creamy sauce. The sweetness makes a nice complement to the Peppered Beef Tenderloin. -Denise Bitner Reedsville, Pennsylvania

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 cups water
2 3/4 tablespoons coarse salt, divided
2 bags (10 ounces each) pearl onions, unpeeled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
4 sprigs fresh sage (with about 16 leaves)

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan, then add 2 tablespoons salt. Add onions, and cook until just tender, about 12 minutes. Drain. When cool enough to handle, trim root ends with a paring knife, and pop onions out of their skins. Let dry on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour, and whisk until mixture bubbles slightly but has not started to brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk. Raise heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Stir in remaining 3/4 tablespoon salt, the nutmeg, and sage. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Stir in onions, and cook over low heat until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Discard sage, retaining a few leaves for garnish if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions are the best choices for this recipe, as they have a milder flavor than red onions.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the onions plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Cook the onions over medium heat: This will help them caramelize slowly and evenly.
  • Don't stir the onions too often: Stirring them too much will prevent them from caramelizing properly.
  • Add the cream and milk: Once the onions are caramelized, add the cream and milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the onions are tender.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Creamed onions are best served immediately, while they are still hot and creamy.
