Glazed Pearl Onions Recipe
- 2 pounds pearl onions (see note)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- Using a paring knife, trim off the ends of each onion and score a light "X" into one cut side. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add onions and cook until outer layers are soft, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain onions and run under cool water until cold enough to handle. Peel onions with your fingers and discard peels.
- Transfer onions to a large saucepan or high-sided saute pan and cover with water. Add butter and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring and shaking pan occasionally, until onions are completely tender and sauce water has reduced and emulsified with the butter into a glossy glaze, about 25 minutes (if butter looks greasy or broken, add 2 tablespoons of water and shake pan to bring glaze back together). Season to taste with salt. Stir in parsley, and serve.
