Vegan Petits Oignons à la Crème

[Vegan Creamed Onions]

...Julia only tells you what to serve this side dish with... Serve creamed onions with roast veal, chicken, or turkey, chops, steaks, or hamburgers, sauteed veal, chicken, or liver.
...I couldn't find any cute little 'fresh' onions...but I did find a bag of frozen pearl onions at Suff Mart...so I'm going with that...(you can see a page of my spreadsheet in the corner...not many recipes are left ...and like this one they mostly require a special purchase)...
...first you braise the onions...for a long time...40-50 minutes...
...then you just need a VEGAN SAUCE BÉCHAMEL...
...then you just fold the cream sauce into the braised onions and simmer for a few minutes...correct seasoning...and off heat, fold in the vegan butter
...turn into a hot vegetable dish...and I must say that it's not the prettiest dish ever...
...we served it pretty simply with vegan meatloaf and green beans and some French bread...
...still not a very pretty side dish...
...but it really is so delicious...slightly sweet and definitely creamy...I'll make this again...
