Easy Onion Boil

 🧅 Easy Onion Boil Recipe

📝 Ingredients

8–10 small onions (or pearl onions, peeled)

6 cups water (enough to cover onions)

3 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

Optional: a pinch of sugar for extra sweetness

🧑‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the onions: Peel your onions. If using large onions, quarter them. Pearl onions can stay whole.

2. Bring water to a boil: Fill a large pot with water, add salt, and bring to a rolling boil.

3. Add the onions: Carefully drop the onions into the boiling water.

4. Simmer: Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 15–20 minutes, or until onions are fork-tender and translucent.

5. Drain: Drain the onions well.

6. Add butter & season: Return the onions to the warm pot, add butter, black pepper, and a pinch of sugar if using. Toss gently until coated and butter is melted.

7. Serve: Taste and adjust salt and pepper as desired. Serve hot as a delicious, buttery side.
