Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 mL) water
  • 6 medium-size Ontario Onions
  • 2 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) dried tarragon
  • Pinch white pepper
  • 1 cup (250 mL) sour cream

Instructions

In wide, deep frying pan or wide saucepan, bring water to boil over medium heat. Meanwhile, peel and slice each onion into 6 or 8 wedges.

Stir bouillon cubes, mustard, tarragon and pepper into boiling water until mustard is blended and cubes are dissolved. Add onion; cover and boil gently, stirring occasionally, until onions are almost tender, about 15 minutes.

Uncover and increase heat to high; boil, stirring often, until liquid is reduced by at least half to about 1 cup (250 mL).

Turn off heat. Stir in sour cream and serve.
