"A culinary student in Omaha, Nebraska, shared a version of this with me ages ago. It’s truly terrific and goes with everything on the Thanksgiving table. I really do like it better than gravy on mashed potatoes." ? @site_name Editor-in-Chief Nichole Aksamit
Ingredients
- 28 ¾ ounces frozen pearl onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk
- ¾ cup chopped fresh parsley, or more to taste
- ¼ cup dry sherry
- ¾ teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Partially thaw onions for 10 minutes, then thinly slice crosswise into rounds. Set in a colander and let thaw completely. Drain and spread on a paper towel-lined tray. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt; cook, stirring frequently, until liquid evaporates and onions are lightly browned and slightly crisp, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth; cook and stir until pale golden, about 30 seconds. Gradually whisk in milk. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, whisking frequently, until sauce is bubbling, thickened, and smooth, about 8 minutes. Add 3/4 cup parsley, sherry, paprika, cloves, and cooked onions; season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to 3 buttered 2-cup broiler-safe baking dishes or 1 buttered 2-quart baking dish.
Step 4
Preheat the oven's broiler to high. Sprinkle panko evenly over onion mixture.
Step 5
Broil 5 inches from heat source until panko is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning panko. Garnish with more parsley.
Cook’s Notes:
You can leave the onions whole or slice them in a food processor to save some time-but slicing them by hand makes the sweetest little rings.
