You can use fresh, jarred or frozen onions when you are making this easy side dish recipe. If you are going to use fresh onions then you will need to blanch them before making the rest of the recipe. If you are using jarred then you will just need to drain them, and if you are using frozen then you will want to thaw them before using them.
How to Blanch Onions
To blanch onions, bring a pot of water to a boil on the stove. Once the water is boiling add in the onions and boil the onions for 3-5 minutes. While they are boiling make an ice bath (a large bowl filled with water and ice). Using a strainer drain the onions and then pour them into the ice bath. Let them sit in the ice bath for about 5 minutes. Then peal the onions and trim the edges and set them aside until they are needed when making this recipe.
How to Store Leftovers
Leftovers need to be stored at in the fridge in an airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
