Creamed Onions

Submitted by GREG IN SAN DIEGO

"This dish is a perfect addition to the traditional holiday turkey dinner. In my family, neither Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner would be complete without serving creamed onions."

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 16 -20 fresh boiling onions, golf ball size, from produce department
• 2 tablespoons flour (I prefer Wondra.)
• 1 cup cold milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika

directions

1. Fill a large stock pot with water and heat to a rolling boil.
2. Add unpeeled onions and blanch for about 3 minutes.
3. Drain and allow onions to cool.
4. Re-fill stock pot with water and again heat to boiling temperature.
5. Peel each onion by cutting the root end, not the tail end) and then squeezing the onion from its skin.
6. Add the onions to the boiling water and cook until fork tender but not mushy.
7. Meanwhile, stir together all remaining recipe ingredients in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until boiling. Continue to cook and stir about one more minute, until sauce has thickened.
8. Combine the fork tender cooked onions with the sauce and sprinkle with paprika.

We enjoyed the creamed onions with our turkey onThanksgiving and really enjoyed them. It's a bit of a task prepping the onions, but the result is well worth the effort. Thanks.
