Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pearl Onions
Peel the pearl onions. Blanching them in boiling water for a minute, then shocking them in ice water, makes peeling much easier.
Step 2: Cook the Onions
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the peeled onions until golden brown and caramelized (5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Step 3: Prepare the Cream Sauce
Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir to coat. Gradually pour in the cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Serve hot as a side dish or main course. Enjoy!
