Cooking Notes
My mother used to make pearl onions in béchamel sauce for Thanksgiving when I was a kid, and so I like to continue the tradition. But this year I was making a green bean and mushroom casserole in a béchamel sauce so wanted a pearl onion recipe without the dairy. This was perfect. Simple and elegant. This recipe respects the onions for what they are, and their delicate flavor shines through. They also looked nice on the Thanksgiving table, served in a small clay casserole dish.

Yummy! And easy!
