Vegan Petits Oignons Persillés

[Vegan Parslied Onions]

...remember that my sweet baby brother and SIL gave me a bag full of gorgeous little onions...so...of course I wanted to use them for a beautiful MtAoFC onion dish...

...so first you need to make the master recipe...VEGAN OIGNONS GLACÉS À BRUN...
...get some butter and oil bubbling in the skillet...then add the onions...
...and sauté over moderate heat for a few minutes...rolling them around so they brown as evenly as possible...
...then braise them with an herb bouquet of parsley...bay leaf and thyme...I used my tea ball instead of cheesecloth...of course...
...add the broth...I used vegan beef bouillon...
...cover...
...and simmer slowly for 40 to 50 minutes until the onions are perfectly tender but retain their shape, and the liquid has evaporated...
...then remove them from the pan...and melt a knob of vegan butter...we used the Blue Bonnet Plant Based...
...and then roll the hot onions gently in the vegan butter...
...remove them to your dish...
...chop your parsley...
...and sprinkle on top of the onions...
...and serve...
...it's a pretty dish...
...we had ours with BBQ jerk tofu...potatoes...spinach and broccoli...
...they're really pretty little orbs...
...so flavorful...I think they'd be a perfect accompaniment to just about anything...thanks K & D!...
