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.

  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help prevent the onions from burning.
  • Cook the onions slowly: This will help them caramelize and develop a rich flavor.
  • Add liquid gradually: This will help prevent the onions from becoming watery.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Creamed onions are best served hot.
