Glazed Red Pearl OnionsJohn Kernick

We know they're a pain to peel, but we promise that these jewellike pearl onions are worth it. Cooked until just tender, they make a dazzling addition to the meal.

Cooks' notes:

· Onions can be blanched and peeled (but not cooked) 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
·Onions can be cooked 1 day ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Reheat over low heat, about 10 minutes, before serving.
