Very good side dish This was really good - roasting the onions first gave them a sweet dense flavor. I put the lemon juice and thyme in according to the recipe and it was great! The lemon juice brightened the flavor a tad and gave the dish balance. We loved it and will serve it again. It's suitable for any special winter dinner. Pros: Delicious deep roasted flavor Cons: If you use fresh pearl onions it takes a long time to prep them
This was easy to make and has so much more flavor than the prepackaged creamed onions from the store. Unless you were told you'd never guess it's a healthier version of the standard recipe. The only thing I added was a dash of nutmeg.
Yum! This is so good. You can also slice large sweet onions and do the same thing. Excellent with a little swiss cheese in the sauce! (Kinda defeats the healthy recipie though). Very easy to turn into a tart.
I agreee... I used 1 lg sweet onion slivered. I skipped the thyme and lemon juice and also added some red-fat Parm to the sauce. It was a tad too runny without it. Otherwise these were for my dad and he loved them!!!
Wonderful! I made this as an alternative to my mother in law's horrible in my opinion weird onion dish that I have only had to endure at her house...if I didn't get it it she would actually put it on my plate...so this year our dinner was last night and I had this dish prepared ahead of time. I made a big deal about promising to make this recipe from my "aunt" and serve it...making sure I said I knew it wouldn't be near as good as hers no doubt...but a promise is a promise you know! Well...the proof was in the empty dish...mine...and the request FROM HER!!! for a copy of the recipe. Only bad thing is that now I am still up preparing another one for the dinner at my brother's today. I followed the other suggestion and grated a small amount of fresh nutmeg into the onions and the very end just before serving...really took it over the top to me as I had tried it exactly as written before the nutmeg...but if you don't have nutmeg don't worry as it will still be great!
Best Ever Everyone in the family loved the flavor...from now on it will be part of the Thanksgiving menu Pros: The best flavor and simple to make Cons: none
Proportions are absolutely off Maybe this is o.k. if you want to serve people cream sauce with a few onions in it but when I reduced the recipe to use 30oz. of onions fresh pearl (because who needs 12 servings for 2 people?) it produced barely a cup of cooked onions. The cream sauce if far too thin as well though fortunately I caught that right off the bat and adjusted it. Roasting the onions is a good idea but for the rest I sure won't bother again.
