Notes

Tips:

To peel fresh pearl onions, trim the root ends of the onions. Blanch the onions in boiling water for about 30 seconds and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Pinch each onion at its stem and it should pop right out of the skin.

Be careful not to overcook the onions or they will become mushy in texture.
