These glazed red pearl onions offer a sophisticated and colourful addition to any dinner table. By slowly simmering the onions in a delicate blend of apple juice and savoury chicken stock, they develop a beautiful glossy finish and a tender, melt-in-the-mouth texture. The addition of fresh thyme provides an earthy aroma that perfectly balances the natural sweetness of the red onions without the need for refined sugars.
As a low-sugar side dish, this recipe is an excellent choice for health-conscious cooks looking to elevate a traditional Sunday roast or festive feast. The gentle glazing process ensures each onion is packed with flavour, making them a delicious accompaniment to roasted meats or vegetarian nut roasts. Serve them warm with an extra sprinkle of fresh herbs for a truly polished presentation.

Ingredients for Glazed Red Pearl Onions
1.1kg fresh red pearl onions
180ml apple juice
180ml reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 (4-inch) sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoons black pepper

How to make Glazed Red Pearl Onions
Blanch pearl onions in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling water 1 minute, then drain in a colander. When onions are cool enough to handle, peel.
Cook onions with remaining ingredients, covered, in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, shaking pan occasionally, until onions are tender and glazed and most of liquid is evaporated, about 45 minutes. Discard thyme.
