Pearl onions, also known as button, baby, or silverskin onions in the UK, are a close relative of the leek. They can be distinguished from common onions by their unique structure, having only a single storage leaf, much like a clove of garlic. In French cuisine, they are referred to as oignon grelot. These small, sweet onions are often used whole in stews, roasts, and pickling due to their mild flavour and tender texture, adding a delicate sweetness to a variety of dishes.
