This was very nice! I don't know if we get frozen pearl onions here, so I used fresh 'baby' onions. this did mean I had to cook them a little longer, maybe twenty-five minutes, and even so, DH would have preferred them cooked a little longer, but for me they were fine. Extremely easy to prepare, and a nice side-dish, a gentle flavour that we found very pleasant. Very nice for a Sunday buffet with guests! Thanks, Julie! Made for ZWT5
