We couldn't get enough of this side-dish. Perfect with a steak (try steakhouse steak). Easy, easy. I would definitely serve this to guests!02/12/06

I used fresh pearl onions for this, because I couldn't find the frozen variety that weren't in a creamy sauce. They worked fine. This was a good, easy side dish, but a little goes a long way. You would only serve a few onions per person, similar to how you would serve relish or chutney.03/01/04
