WHISKEY BUTTER ONIONS



Whiskey Butter Onions image

I made up these sauteed onions one night to top a beef and Swiss sandwich; they're perfect on burgers, steaks and the like and a little swished around in some fried potatoes doesn't hurt, either. Please use a good whiskey, something like Maker's Mark is excellent, and don't be afraid to add more whiskey if you like! Also, this recipe doesn't make a large quantity; the onions are best when eaten immediately.

Time 20m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 yellow onion, thickly sliced
3 slices red onions
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons good-quality whiskey
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • In a small skillet saute onions in the butter until slightly softened (but not too limp).
  • Add thyme, then stir in the whiskey and Worcestershire Sauce.
  • Increase heat to brown onions a bit and cook to the doneness you like (I like them to still be a little on the crisp side; that's also why I slice them on the thicker side).
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose small and firm pearl onions: Small onions are easier to peel and cook evenly. Look for firm onions without any blemishes or soft spots.
  • Peel the onions quickly and easily: Trim the root end of the onion and make a shallow cut across the top. Place the onion in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then remove it and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water. The skins should slip off easily.
  • Cook the onions until they are tender and slightly caramelized: Sauté the onions in butter over medium heat until they are browned on all sides. Then, add a little bit of water or broth and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the onions for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Make the whiskey glaze ahead of time: The whiskey glaze can be made up to 3 days in advance. Simply whisk together the whiskey, brown sugar, butter, and spices in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Store the glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Serve the onions immediately: The onions are best served hot or warm. They can be served as a side dish or appetizer.

Conclusion:

Buttery Whiskey Glazed Pearl Onions are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The onions are cooked until they are tender and slightly caramelized, and then they are glazed with a sweet and savory whiskey glaze. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and addictive. Whether you are serving them as a side dish for a special dinner or as an appetizer at a party, these onions are sure to be a hit.
