Tips:

  • Choose small and firm pearl onions for this recipe. Larger onions may take longer to cook and may not caramelize properly.
  • To easily peel the pearl onions, blanch them in boiling water for a minute or two, then transfer them to an ice bath. The skins should slip off easily.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan to prevent the onions from burning. A cast iron skillet is a good option.
  • Cook the onions over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and caramelized. This may take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Add the glaze ingredients to the skillet and stir to coat the onions. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the onions are glazed and tender.
  • Serve the glazed pearl onions as a side dish or appetizer. They can also be used as a garnish for other dishes, such as roasted meats or vegetables.
