2 3/4 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock, skimmed of fat
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 pounds white pearl onions
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Place stock and wine in a medium pan over high heat. Reduce liquid by half; set aside.
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add onions; cook 10 minutes. Drain, and cool. Using a paring knife, remove skins.
Place flour and reduced liquid in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until combined.
Transfer mixture to a small saucepan; set over medium heat. Whisk constantly until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme and the pepper. Cut off top of garlic head, and squeeze flesh into the sauce; stir to combine.
Place onions and sauce in a 10-inch round baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan and remaining teaspoon thyme. Bake until golden on top, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Serve.
