Instructions

Peel the onions: The hardest part about this recipe is peeling the onions. If you are using pearl or small cipollini onions, blanch them in boiling water for a minute or so and then plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking. Slice off the root and stem ends, and the papery skin should slip right off.

Ingredients you will need

Cipollini Onions

Water

Onion

If you are using the larger boiling onions, as we did here, just slice the stem end off the onion and peel as you would a normal onion.

Ingredients you will need

Onion

Boil the onions: Bring a pot of salty water to a boil, and boil your onions for 4-10 minutes, or until they are tender. Smaller onions will need less time. You want them al dente, not soft, because they will cook a bit more in the frying pan.
