Boiled onions have always been a traditional part of my family's Thanksgiving dinner. I always assumed it was a mainstay holiday side dish for evey family in Amerca, but since I've gotten 'out in the world' see that I was mistaken. SO - I'm posting this recipe because boiled onions are AWESOME and I hope to hear from other New Englanders who agree with me. I don't wait for Thanksgiving but serve them several times a year.

SERVES 10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 lbs onions (white, yellow, or vidalia)
1 tablespoon margarine (I use Smart Balance Light) or butter
1 tablespoon sugar (adjust according to your preference, if using Vidalia or other sweet onions, can cut the sugar in ha)
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Wash onions, trim ends and remove outer layer (keep whole).
2
Cook in salted boiling water for 30- 50 minutes (depending on size of onions) until soft and onion layers start to 'come apart'.
3
Drain water, and toss onions w/ margarine, sugar, salt and pepper.
4
You can make this recipe a day or 2 in advance, store in fridge, and heat up in microwave just before serving.

Well, I am not from New England but I thought these were fantastic! I used sweet onions and I think that next time I may just omit the sugar all together. They tasted wonderful with the sugar, but I am confident that they will be just as pleasant without Next go-round I am going to use pearl onions... YUM!
