Caramelized Pearl Onions
1 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. butter
1 (10 oz.) pkg. pearl onions
1/3 C. water
1 tsp. sugar
1 T. chopped fresh thyme
2 T. dry white wine
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt butter in pan. Add onions, and cook 5 min. or until lightly browned, shaking pan frequently. Add water and sugar, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 8 min. Uncover and cook 2 min. or until liquid evaporates. Stir in thyme and remaining ingredients; cook 1 min. To peel pearl onions easily, slice off the root ends and drop into boiling water for less than a minute. Drain and rinse with cold water. Pinch the stem end of each, and a peeled onion will pop out. When they’re in the skillet, shake the onions frequently for even browning.
