Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ teaspoon Salt
1 pounds Pearl Onions
12 ounces Mushrooms; Sliced
1 tablespoon Honey
1 teaspoon Grated Lemon Peel
1½ cup Lowfat 1% Milk
3 tablespoons Flour

2 tablespoons Lowfat Sour Cream

Directions

LOWFAT WHITE SAUCE

For mushrooms and onions: Bring 1" water and the salt to a boil in a deep 10" skillet. Add onions; boil 1 min. (I boiled them for about 3 min.) Remove with slotted spoon; plunge into bowl of ice water. Slip off and discard skins. (This is time consuming and the skins don't always come off with your fingers... I used a paring knife to help do this.) Return to boiling water, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 - 12 min until tender (took about 15 min to get to the tender stage). Drain in colander.

Coat same skillet with nonstick spray. Place over med heat until hot. Add mushrooms; saute until golden and tender. Remove from pan.

In same skillet, prepare lowfat white sauce. Stir in honey, lemon peel, onions and mushrooms. Heat through.
