Boiled Onions image

Boiled onions have always been a traditional part of my family's Thanksgiving dinner. I always assumed it was a mainstay holiday side dish for evey family in Amerca, but since I've gotten 'out in the world' see that I was mistaken. SO - I'm posting this recipe because boiled onions are AWESOME and I hope to hear from other New Englanders who agree with me. I don't wait for Thanksgiving but serve them several times a year.

Time 43m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs onions (white, yellow, or vidalia)
1 tablespoon margarine (I use Smart Balance Light) or 1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon sugar (adjust according to your preference, if using Vidalia or other sweet onions, can cut the sugar in ha)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Wash onions, trim ends and remove outer layer (keep whole).
  • Cook in salted boiling water for 30- 50 minutes (depending on size of onions) until soft and onion layers start to 'come apart'.
  • Drain water, and toss onions w/ margarine, sugar, salt and pepper.
  • You can make this recipe a day or 2 in advance, store in fridge, and heat up in microwave just before serving.
