Answers: They are white, medium sized
Easy....
Olive oil..
Onions..
Selection of beans..
Tomato..
paprika..
Garlic..
Brown sugar..
Mixed herbs..
Fry up a pile of onions till they're as cooked as ya want, add ya bean selection, cook a bit more, add your sugar (around a teaspoon or two for one person portion), add your tomatoes (cook till like a juice or use tinned tomato), then add your paprika (2 teaspoons full for one person portion) and your garlic (as much as ya want!) and your mixed herbs (generous pinch of) and this should be nice enough I reckon. Ya could make a massive load of this easily, freeze it n eat whenever.
Bon apetit..
French onion soup.
Peel and roast them.
Another vote for french onion soup here - but they last for ages!
French onion soup.
Slice up the onions and put in pan, add enough vegetable stock to cover, simmer for 10 minutes, add another two ladles full of stock, simmer for another ten minutes and then keep adding stock and simmering until you have desired amount.
Add salt and pepper.
You can add chilli flakes to taste.
Add any other vegetables you have to spare for the last 10 minutes for variety.
onion soup is the best way to use them up :)
try a good salsa! chop them up with tomatos and throw in other veggies that you enjoy.
or you can roast them and serve them with mushrooms like burger
You could always stuff them and then roast them. Stuff them with b/crumbs, herbs, finely chopped onion (yes), garlic and if you have any sheese add that, mushrooms etc.
Or, roast them with some garlic, sweet potato, squash etc.
How about onion pie?!
If you have too many, maybe you can try pickling some for later use.
caramalised onions
roughly chop them
cook in a large pan with a bit of oil
once they have turned white, covr them in water and bring to boil. Then throw in some brown sugar (quantity depends on how many onions you use, if you are using several large onions I'd go with a couple of tablespoons).
Boil off water until thick and gooey. Use onions in sandwiches, pies, tarts etc. This process does preserve the onions, but I can't say for how long because I've only done it at work and we always used up a batch within one week
Bake them. Stuff them. Re bake them. Bob's your uncle!
Onion soup.
Onion Marmalade - slowly cooked with brown sugar etc.
Look up an onion websie
i'd go with french onion soup every time, although traditionally it's supposed to have beef broth and cheese, it works fine with vegemite stock and without the cheese. ENJOY!
I served sauteéd onions as a side dish with most of my meals. You can also caramelize them to preserve them and use in casseroles casseroles or stews. Delicious if you make cheese toast and put a layer of them before the cheese.
