CREAMED RED AND WHITE PEARL ONIONS WITH BACON
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.

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.

[email protected]This dish was a disaster! The onions were overcooked and the sauce was curdled. I don't know what I did wrong, but I will definitely not be making this recipe again.

[email protected]I thought this recipe was just okay. The onions were a little bland and the sauce was a little too thick. I think I would have preferred a thinner sauce with more flavor.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. The onions were cooked perfectly and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I think I would have preferred it with less cream or maybe even a different sauce altogether.
