Onion recipes

[andy]

Just having a natter with Rosefriend about our perverse fettish for onions.

So, without further ado...here's my onion recipe, followed by RF's contribution.

Please feel free to add your own

Sweet and sour onions

1lb baby onions...peeled
50ml wine vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp caster sugar
3 tbsp tomato puree
3 oz raisins
bayleaf
parsley sprigs
seasoning

Put all the above in a pan with 1/2 pt of water...bring to boil and simmer uncovered for 45 mins or until the onions are soft and liquid is evaporated.

Remove bay leaf and parsley, transfer to a dish and serve at room temp.

And RF's

Bake onions in their skins until soft - as soon as you can touch them, skin them and cut into quarters, separating slightly. Sprinkle with salt.

Loads of different cheeses (well 3/4) and a lovely glass of beer/wine....absolutely gorgeous.

Enjoy

Another one from me.

Onion Pie

6-7 medium onions
2 eggs
2 cups milk or one of cream - even a sprinkling of cheese.
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
Loads of black pepper
Cornflour to thicken a little.

Slice and saute the onions until soft, put into a pie dish and cover with pastry - or make individual pies, or just use as a vegetable.

I once made a large Yorkshire pudding and when it was finished piled the onions in the middle.

There's one for my slow cooker where you slice the base/top off so you have a flat base, cook them a little and then remove all the insides. You make some stuff to stuff it with, including the insides of the onion if you wish and then stick them in the slow cooker. Sounds nice. I'm too lazy to get off my arse and look at the specifics though.
