KING'S ARMS TAVERN-LIKE CREAMED ONIONS



King's Arms Tavern-like Creamed Onions image

This is similar to the recipe for creamed onions served at the King's Arms Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg. The Tavern version (from a 1970s cookbook of Old Williamsburg recipes) includes extra salt which I omit. The salted peanuts make it salty enough for my tastes, even before the doctor put me on a low-salt diet. However, I always have a salt shaker on the table so people who like it saltier can add it themselves.

CREAMED RED AND WHITE PEARL ONIONS WITH BACON



Creamed Red And White Pearl Onions With Bacon image

This recipe came to The Times in 2003 from Barbara Lynch, the owner and chef of No. 9 Park in Boston. It is incredibly rich, and remarkably good. If you don't have time to blanch and peel the onions, feel free to use frozen pearl onions in a pinch.

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     side dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 8-ounce bags red pearl onions
2 8-ounce bags white pearl onions
2 1/2 ounces (2 strips) thick-cut bacon, diced ( 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons butter
2 shallots, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 pints heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • If red and white onions are about the same size, bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add onions and blanch until skins loosen slightly, about 5 minutes. Drain. (If white onions are considerably larger, blanch onions separately, increasing time on white onions by a couple of minutes.) Let onions until cool enough to handle, then trim and peel. Set aside. (Onions can be blanched, peeled and trimmed ahead of time. Place in 2-quart zipper-lock bag and refrigerate until ready to use.)
  • Sauté bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Pour off bacon fat. Melt butter in Dutch oven over low heat until foaming, add shallots and garlic and cook until translucent but not browned, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Add heavy cream and salt. Simmer, stirring often, until cream is thick and golden and has reduced by half, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir onions into cream to heat through.
  • Heat broiler. Turn onions and cream into a shallow 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Top with bacon, bread crumbs and parsley. Place under broiler and cook until crumbs are browned and dish is bubbling, about 10 minutes.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 slices thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 9-ounce boxes frozen creamed pearl onions
3 tablespoons chopped assorted fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, tarragon, and chervil)

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Pour off drippings. Heat same skillet over medium heat. Add wine; simmer 30 seconds. Add onions and cook until sauce melts and onions are heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in herbs and bacon. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose small pearl onions. They're easier to peel and cook evenly.
  • Peel the onions carefully. Use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut around the root end of each onion, then use your fingers to slip off the skin.
  • Blanch the onions before cooking. This will help to remove their bitterness and make them more tender.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the onions. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the onions from burning.
  • Cook the onions over medium-low heat. This will allow them to caramelize slowly and develop a rich flavor.
  • Add the peanuts during the last few minutes of cooking. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked and chewy.
  • Season the creamed pearl onions to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Serve the creamed pearl onions immediately. They're best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Creamed pearl onions with peanuts is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. The creamy sauce and crunchy peanuts add a wonderful flavor and texture to the tender onions. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
