Creamed Pearl Onions with Bacon Recipe • Tasty Side! | Club Foody

 

I like having choices, especially when it comes to food. I don’t like being limited. Having a nice variety of one-pot recipes or comfort food dishes 🥰 to choose from makes cooking more fun and interesting. The same applies to vegetables and sides…
 
Yes, mashed potatoes 🥔 are probably the most popular side dish out there, but there are other options such as White Bean Purée, Jollof Rice, Sambal Green Beans, Southern Corn Pepper Pudding, Calico Beans, Cabbage and Carrot Casserole, Ginger Garlic Bok Choy, and the list goes on.
 
On the website 💻, there are over 100 recipes that I posted so far, and they just keep coming. Here’s one that David and I really enjoy… Creamed Pearl Onions with Bacon! This delicious dish goes very well with many proteins. It’s easy to make and a tasty change from your regular ones.
 
The first thing that has to be done before beginning with the recipe is to have the pearl onions ready. In the video 🎥, I don’t show how to do it because there’s a great tutorial on it. I show you a quick method to peel and prep them, and here’s the link… Pearl Onions • Easiest Way to Peel.
 
When this step is done, the rest goes pretty fast. The bacon pieces 🥓 are cooked and set aside before the prepped pearl onions go in. As the late chef Anne Burrell often said, “brown food tastes good” -, therefore, these little guys are sautéed for 5 minutes so they don’t look snowy white anymore.
 
To give some sweetness to this dish, roasted red peppers are added, providing not only color 🌈 but also flavor. Flour is also another important component that helps to thicken the sauce. Although David and I are slowly switching to stainless steel cookware, I prefer using a non-stick skillet when making a roux.
 
The rest goes in, including most of the cooked bacon pieces, reserving some as a garnish. I keep about 1/3 of it, and the rest goes in the skillet. I love my mixed peppercorns, but if you prefer, they can be skipped. Then the mixture is simmered gently for 5 minutes ⏳.
 
As I frequently mention, “we eat with our eyes 👀 first” -, and this Creamed Pearl Onions with Bacon is the perfect example. After the mixture is transferred to a serving dish, the remaining bacon pieces are sprinkled in the center, followed by the parsley.
 
It’s a delightful way to break the routine of our everyday side dishes with this Creamed Pearl Onions with Bacon! It has tons of flavor and is easy to make. With Easter 🐰 around the corner, this rich and flavorful recipe is a great accompaniment for many proteins… simply give it a try!
Bon Appétit! 🍽
