This was very interesting! First I plunged my pearl onions in boiling water for 1 minute then into cold to make peeling easier. I used chili sauce which is made from paste and spices in place of the tomato paste. I simmered the onions for 20-30 minutes. This is full of flavor. Sweet & Tangy! Thanks Sharon!Reply
