NOTES

  • The original recipe has pearl onions instead of chopped yellow onion. It’s nice but when cooking for little ogre’s they tend to be a little odd. So, if you want to make this recipe with the pearl onions, eliminate the chopped onions in the beginning and add the pearl onions with the sliced mushrooms at the end of cooking. Thaw the frozen pearl onions before cooking.
