Dr. Rob’s Pearl Onion Recipe

Here’s a delicious recipe that’s great for that special Holiday Dinner or any day of the year!

Pearl Onions – Creamed:

Ingredients:

• Pearl Onions–5 bags of pearl onions
• 1-2 sticks butter
• 2 bay leaves
• 1-2 tsp. Thyme
• 2-4 chicken bouillon cubes
• 1-2 cups of Riesling or sweet white wine
• cup heavy cream
• salt and/or pepper to taste

Directions:
Blanche onions for 3-5 minutes in boiling water, dump immediately into ice water then clip off ends of onions and peel off skin. In large skillet melt 1-2 sticks salted butter and then add bay leaves, thyme,  chicken boullion cubes and mix  in skillet over medium heat. Sautee onions in mixture for 30 minutes with 1-2 cups of riesling or sweet white wine, add crack pepper. Final preparation; reduce liquid until scant sauce remaining, add 1 cup of heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes then serve.

**Be careful that you don’t cook it higher or longer than simmer because the cream will separate. You may adjust the amount of onions and butter as needed. Bon apetit!

Dr. Rob’s 12 Minute Meditation, October 29th, 2009

Dr. Rob’s 12 minute meditation:
Cooking up life, adding the spice
This I do first thing in the am
To focus on the breath, the energy of life
In slow and focus on thee
The breath in one two three
Feel the energy spice up me
Cooking up life is all up to me
This practice I know will brighten and glow
Walking in the garden, tai chi, lotus
Let the unwanted thoughts simply flow and go
Meditative music in the background
Each day this builds the molecules

Namaste
Dr. Rob
