Ingredients:
6 oz (175 g bag) pearl onions
3 cups frozen peas
2 tbsps butter
pinch of sugar
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried parsley
salt and pepper to taste
First time I used these little mini onions I thought...Wow, these will be a major pain to peel! But here's the trick...
Cut little X's on the stem end of the onion. Boil a pot of water, then carefully drop the unpeeled onions in. Boil for 3 minutes then remove and cool.
Pinch the pointed end of each onion and squeeze. They pop right out of the peel! Trim off the stem end and you're good to go!
Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the onions. Toss on medium heat until very lightly golden.
Add the broth, sugar, peas and seasonings. Cover and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove the lid and cook until any liquid is reduced, about 2-3 minutes.
Serves 6-8
When do you add the peas? I guessed it was when you add the broth and seasonings. Having this tonight...thanks for the recipe!
