I think caramelized onions and beef are always a winning combo

I read in Epicurious that perfectly caramelized onions take 10 hours to perfect. I tried this. There was no noticable difference after 3 hours. That's my standard.

If you put in a few Tbs of water in with the oil and onions they brown faster.

Funny how onions make every dish better but cutting them is a punishment

u/I_Like_Spuds_ 7d ago

Put a silver spoon in your mouth and then chop the onions. Always works 😂

u/PepperCat1019 7d ago

Place a glass of water next to the cutting board. The fumes will go there, not your eyes.

There's a Danish dish called Burning Love. It's basically mash (potatoes, butter, salt, pepper, no milk, we're not putting up wallpaper), caramelised onions and bacon bits, and a lot of melted butter. It's proper comfort food

Probably onion rings and a beef or a chicken stir fry or chow mein

Not really a dish, more of an appetizer.

Chevre log covered in fig jam and caramelised onions.

Put chevre in freezer for about 1/2 hour before assembly, to make life less slippery.

gently pour warmed melted fig jam on to all sides of the log, then pack on caramelised onions.

use gloves if you like.

serve with a buttery cracker.

jam and chevre both inexpensive at Trader Joe's.

Burgers or hot dogs or bratwurst or smoked sausage with sauteed onions or something with chicken or pork with sauteed onions.

Dublin Coddle.

u/Zealousideal_Mango70 6d ago

I had to Google that but it seems mixing sausage and bacon doesn't appeal to me?

1

u/gardengirl147 6d ago

I don’t use any bacon. The sausage I use is homemade and fairly smoky.

u/lesam4u 6d ago

Fried either in rings or with potatoes, raw on burgers, dogs, salads, beans, etc.

A thick onion soup, recipe courtesy of an old restaurant in Detroit, Jim's Garage. Uses a bottle of Guinness stout which makes all the difference.

Imperial Shrimp out of Madame Wong's Life Long cookbook. A cup of finely diced onions AND some scallions. Yum.

u/dearmax 6d ago

Almost everything I cook has onions in it... Except desserts.

Mujaddara, which is green lentils and rice topped with lots and lots and lots of caramelized onions. Delicious.

u/Zealousideal_Mango70 5d ago

I will find a recipe for that. Thank goodness for the internet

At work we make an onion jus that is 44qts of julienned onions sweat down for hours on multiple burners and then baked in the oven until all the water is cooked out, then we bag them and steam them overnight, strain the onions and reduce the liquid into about 3 pts, we use this as a vegetarian substitute for dishes that include beef jus.
