I already have my eye on Thanksgiving, and what that means is Creamed Onions. It’s
always a favorite dish, so I tend to serve it often on holidays that fall in
the autumn and winter months. It can be work if you don’t plan ahead, but I
always do by peeling the onions, labeling, bagging, and putting them in the
freezer. I love having them on hand for anything I might need.
If you have only tried using pearl onions in recipes that call for them, you are missing a lot of flavor by ignoring Cipollini and Red Boiler Onions. In the past, I have provided you with a tutorial on how to easily peel pearl onions; you can find that post here. You can treat cipollini onions and red boiler onions in the same manner, just extend the boiling time to 4 minutes and 30 seconds. They come out beautifully, and are going to add more depth to your casserole.
That’s your tip for today.

I love creamed onions, a Thanksgiving tradition at my house, but I've always used bottled onions, I must try using fresh Cipollini and red boiler onions! Thanks for the tip!
