Recipe of the Week

Beanpot Onions

Yankee Magazine

Makes 6 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4 pound salt pork, rinsed of excess surface salt and patted dry
  • 1 1/4 pounds creamer or pearl onions, peeled
  • 1–2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed light-brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 3–4 cups warm pork or chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • Garnishes: freshly grated horseradish and chopped chives

Directions

Preheat your oven to 300° and set a rack to the middle position.

Cut the salt pork into 1-inch squares; then add half to a medium-size Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook until the fat begins to render but doesn’t brown, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the onions, and sear on one side until golden brown, another 5 minutes; season with 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Add the brown sugar, molasses, and mustard with enough warm stock to cover (start with 3 cups and work up as needed). Add the remaining salt pork. Pour the contents into a beanpot (or keep it in the Dutch oven); cover and bake 2 hours.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the onions from the pot to a serving bowl. Reduce the liquid over medium-high heat until thickened. Add the vinegar, and season to taste with additional salt and pepper as needed. Pour the sauce over the onions and garnish with horseradish and chives.
