Ingredients

12 ounces pearl onions
1 cup heavy cream
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 garlic clove, smashed
1/2 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup goose stock or chicken broth

Directions

Blanch the pearl onions by placing them into a large pot of rapidly boiling water. Cook them for about 1 minute. Remove the onions from the water with a strainer, then plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain them, then remove the skins.

Put the onions in a 3-quart saucepan and place over low-medium heat. Add the cream, bay leaves, parsley, garlic and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Then, remove the cover and add stock. Season again. Allow to cook down for 5 minutes to tighten up the cream sauce. Discard the garlic clove and bay leaves before serving.

We make this every year at Christmas dinner. It is really good if you use fresh bay leaves. A wonderful classic

I have made these twice & the first time they were rather runny. The second time I made them, I decreased the liquids & they... turned out fantastic! I did start out w/ frozen pearl onions & not fresh. I just cooked them in the microwave & then followed the recipe from there.Read more

Have made this dish twice and received raves from my guests both times. Will certainly make this again. The nutmeg is a... good addition.Read more
