Ingredients
- 2 pounds pearl onions
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pearl onions and blanch for 1-2 minutes. Drain the onions and transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, trim the ends and remove the skins.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and whole milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue cooking and whisking until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Add the peeled pearl onions to the cream sauce and stir gently to coat them evenly.
Step 5
Lower the heat to a simmer and cook the onions in the cream sauce for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and the sauce is rich and creamy.
Step 6
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the dish and stir until it is melted and combined.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy this luxurious side dish alongside roasted meats or holiday favorites.
