Cook's Notes Soaking pearl and cipollini onions in warm water for just 10 minutes makes their thin, tight skin easier to remove. After soaking, simply cut off the root end and peel back the skin. If you can't find pearl or cipollini onions, you can substitute 1 large or 2 small yellow onions, each cut into 8 wedges. Rate it Print
