Ingredients

How to make it

  • Fill a pot 2/3 full with lightly salted water and bring to a boil.
  • Pick over onions, throwing out any that are soft. Do not peel.
  • Boil onions until skins are tender, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Drain and plunge into cold water to stop cooking.
  • Snip off ends and squeeze onions from their skins. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, heat cream just until hot, then set aside.
  • Melt butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat.
  • Add flour and paprika and whisk until smooth and starting to bubble, about 1 minute.
  • Add the cream slowly, whisking continuously, until smooth and thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add thyme, parsley and salt, stir to blend.
  • Add onions and heat through.
  • Add nutmeg, and season with pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately, or set aside for up to 1 hr and gently reheat.
  • ***Onions can be cooked and peeled a day ahead to save time.

    Wow this sounds wonderful, I do like to bake onions in a cream sauce and this sounds similar to that, but better somehow. Thanks for sharing I'm going to print this out, and good call on the nutmeg, yum!!
