Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup prunes

  • 12 pearl onions, blanched
  • 4 tablespoons butter, cut in small pieces
  • Cooked egg noodles, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a blender puree prunes with enough apple juice to make a smooth paste.

    This is simply a deliciour recipe. The sweetnes of the prunes mixed with the shallots and pearl onion sauce over it all is wonderful. Its the sauce that makes this scrumptious. Thank you again Emeril. Terry in Santa Rosa

    Although a little more difficult than I'm use to, this turned out wonderful, the first time and every time. This is a dish I serve a lot for guest. They are always very impressed. The prune sauce adds a rich flavor. My kids even eat it.
