Expert Tips

Instead of the rum, you can use 1/2 cup water mixed with 1 teaspoon rum extract.

A liquor distilled from fermented sugar cane juice or molasses, rum varies in color and flavor depending on where it’s produced. Puerto Rico’s white and silver rums are light in body and flavor; Jamaican and Cuban rums tend to be more dark, rich and full-bodied.

Remove the skins from the pearl onions quickly by dunking them in boiling water for about 30 seconds. Once cool enough to touch, the skins will slip right off.

What a fabulous surprise this dish turned out to be! The biggest hit at the Christmas dinner table. My mother and I were skeptical while preparing the dish together, but it turned out delicious. Do not omit red pepper because is a must with this recipe. Everyone young and old loved the dish. Yum!

I made this dish last Christmas and my mother in law begged me to make it again this year. Even the non-veggie eaters came back for seconds with this dish. It was SO easy and SO yummy! The only thing I didn''t add was the crushed red pepper (I forgot) but the dish was so good we didn''t miss it. Its a very elegant twist on a boring veggie!
