I always have pearl onions on hand to add to stews and vegetable dishes-they're great pickled, too. Every Thanksgiving, I make this glazed onion dish. It can easily be made ahead and reheated. -Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts

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.

BRAISED WHISKEY ONIONS

Adapted from Morey Amsterdam's Benny Cooker Crock Book. Although the title comes from a joke from Amsterdam's night club act, the recipes are all genuine. This dish goes well with lamb, beef or chicken. I prefer a bit less salt and a bit more pepper.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 large onions, cut in slices about 2-inch thick
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon finely ground black pepper (or to taste)
1/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup Bourbon

Steps:

  • Combine oil and butter in a heavy saucepan.
  • Heat together over high heat until butter is melted.
  • Add onions and cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Add salt, pepper, and broth.
  • Cover, reduce heat, and simmer about 10 minutes.
  • Add Bourbon and cook until the sauce is slightly reduced.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed pan to prevent the onions from burning.
  • Cook the onions over medium-low heat so that they caramelize slowly and evenly.
  • Do not stir the onions too often, as this will prevent them from caramelizing.
  • Add the whiskey and butter to the pan once the onions are caramelized.
  • Stir the onions and whiskey-butter mixture until the butter is melted and the onions are evenly coated.
  • Serve the whiskey butter onions immediately.

Conclusion:

Whiskey butter onions are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for serving with grilled meats, fish, or poultry. The combination of whiskey and butter gives the onions a rich and flavorful taste. This dish will make a great addition to any meal.
