Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups pearl onions
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup flour
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup fresh parsley finely chopped
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the onions in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, around 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the onions from the water and allow to cool. Peel the onions and set them aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium low heat. Add the flour and stir to mix.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream and simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thickened, around two minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the parsley and parmesan cheese.
- Add the onions and stir to coat.
- Transfer the onion mixture to a baking dish and cover with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator overnight.
- When ready to cook, remove the pan from the refrigerator and allow to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the onions covered for 15 minutes, then remove the cover and cook an additional 10 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly.
