Boiled onions have always been a traditional part of my family's Thanksgiving dinner. I always assumed it was a mainstay holiday side dish for evey family in Amerca, but since I've gotten 'out in the world' see that I was mistaken. SO - I'm posting this recipe because boiled onions are AWESOME and I hope to hear from other New Englanders who agree with me. I don't wait for Thanksgiving but serve them several times a year. Ingredients:
2 lbs onions (white, yellow, or vidalia) |
1 tablespoon margarine (i use smart balance light) or 1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon sugar (adjust according to your preference, if using vidalia or other sweet onions, can cut the sugar in ha) |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Wash onions, trim ends and remove outer layer (keep whole).
2. Cook in salted boiling water for 30- 50 minutes (depending on size of onions) until soft and onion layers start to 'come apart'.
3. Drain water, and toss onions w/ margarine, sugar, salt and pepper.
4. You can make this recipe a day or 2 in advance, store in fridge, and heat up in microwave just before serving.
