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.
