Onions

Have you tried caramelizing onions? Caramelized onions can be the focal point of practically any dish...they are really delicious.

I just made some really tasty quesadillas that were mainly carmelized onions. I just added a few sauteed mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes and they were really good.

Oh yeah, love 'em. You just have to remember to start with three times as much as you think you need.

I like to slice onions in rounds and grill them quickly to put on burgers. Just a minute or two on each side gives them some color and sweetens them up. Lots better than raw.

I make a chicken thigh dish as a quick super.
Take pan

glug in olive oil

take as many onions as you ca n stand and caramalize , toward the end,add about a fistful of tarragon (fresh only)

Brown the chicken
Put the chicken with the onions and add about a half cup of stock(seasoned)

Add lots of fresh pepper
cook for only about 15 minutes over medium heat
at end of 15 minutes add some small mushrooms (whole is best)

Let cook another 10 minutes.
Taste
adjust flavors , even adding more tarragon cause you want that taste of licorice to permeate everything

PS, this is a great dish with pheasant or rabbit, merely quarter the game birds o saddle cut the rabbit. (game rabbit is best but farm raised pheasant is ok, its tenderer than wild.

Thanks McTag!

Montana, get off your butt and start chopping onions!

Are you taking orders? ... well then make me an Onion Pepper Soup.

I love onions.

I make great baked onions. My Mom showed me long ago, so I don't have a recipe exactly.

When I get a minute, I'll write it out.

Do you know how to make a basic white sauce?

Bechamel. Yep.

Just a heads up for the sake of the thread, I am not a cooking newbie. I'm fairly accomplished in the kitchen.

Sorry CJ and Vinsan, I'm not cooking tonight, so you're on your own

Here are a couple of easy ones:

APPLE ONION SAUTE

2 medium onions, sliced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 large tart apples, peeled and sliced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper

In small saucepan, cook onions and brown sugar over medium-low heat until onions are tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in apples, salt, and pepper; cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until apples are tender

3-4 servings

ONION CASSEROLE

5-6 medium mild onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons margarine
1 cup milk
4 eggs

Saute onions in margarine in covered skillet for about 30 minutes. Cool. In a bowl, beat together milk and eggs. Stir in onions and transfer to greased baking dish. Bake at 325° for 45 to 50 minutes or until light golden.

Sounds good. My Mom does an appetizer that I call "onion pizzas" that involves small rye rounds, mayo, cheese and onions, which I'll post if she'll give me the recipe.

That sounds yummy along with all this other stuff.
