directions
- If you are using fresh pearl onions, they are easier to peel if you blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then run them under cold water to cool.
- If you are using frozen pearl onions, make sure they are defrosted and drained.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet and add the onions to the skillet.
- Saute over medium heat for about ten minutes, rolling the onions about so they brown as evenly as possible without breaking apart.
- Pour in the stock, add the herbs, and cover.
- Simmer over low heat for about 40 to 50 minutes until the onions are perfectly tender but retain their shape and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
- Remove the herbs, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

I agree with another reviewer and this recipe is for only 2 people. Luckily I doubled the recipe and made with fresh onions, we were in 5 people at the Christmas dinner table. Everyone loved them. I served with smoked prime rib, mashed potatoes and sauteed mushrooms. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
