Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds red and white onions (about 15 small onions)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Peel the onions, and trim roots, leaving enough to keep onion intact. Cut them lengthwise in halves or quarters, depending on their size.
  • Place in a large skillet with butter, sugar, salt, pepper, and enough water to come halfway up sides of onions. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to medium-low, and cook, covered, until the onions are tender, about 20 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally until caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes.

BRAISED ONIONS A LA JULIA CHILD



Braised Onions a La Julia Child image

These onions are included in the recipe for Boeuf Bourguignon, but they are so wonderful, that they deserve to be posted on their own. I think they are best with fresh pearl onions, but frozen are a fine substitute. You do need to use good stock though (Julia's beef stock is posted at #147999) Honestly, these are so delicious that I have a hard time not eating them before the meal is served. Prep time does NOT include peeling the onions (the hardest part of this).

Categories     Onions

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb white pearl onion, peeled (may substitute frozen)
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup unsalted beef stock, defatted
salt & fresh ground pepper
1 bay leaf, preferably fresh
1 sprig thyme
2 sprigs parsley

Steps:

  • If you are using fresh pearl onions, they are easier to peel if you blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then run them under cold water to cool.
  • If you are using frozen pearl onions, make sure they are defrosted and drained.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet and add the onions to the skillet.
  • Saute over medium heat for about ten minutes, rolling the onions about so they brown as evenly as possible without breaking apart.
  • Pour in the stock, add the herbs, and cover.
  • Simmer over low heat for about 40 to 50 minutes until the onions are perfectly tender but retain their shape and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
  • Remove the herbs, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
