Re: I have an entire bag of onions
What Rabbit said! I was coming back to say that I love to slice up half an onion and saute it in olive oil or butter, w/ salt, pepper, and maybe garlic and eat it as a side dish to whatever I am having for lunch or dinner.

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
I sauteed onions as well. I think it's harder because I don't eat pasta or rice or anything, so it has to be pretty much some kind of soup or a really tender cut of meat Do you freeze carmelized onions? I could do a bunch of them like that, then they are already done.

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
I use lots of onions, too. one of the ways I get their goodness is by making stock... a light veggie stock will need two onions (among other yummies) and then you can freeze it for quick and healthy soups later. It can become anything! Just use in place of water in black bean soup, or pasta fagioli, or my very favorite: moosewood's flemish farm soup. I am on my phone now, but I'll try to post recipes later. (The best part of flemish farm soup is that it uses more onions, sauteed very low until they are almost completely melted. And the recipe recommends making croutons with slices of fench bread and cheese--so Pill can enjoy those with it!)

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
Ooooh, I could about kill for a steak right now, smothered in onions and mushrooms.
I've never frozen them, but I never have left overs, either. I fill the skillet and then eat it like dessert any that are left over after the meal. ---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ---------- Last night I minced an entire onion and only needed a quarter of it for a particular stir fry quinoa. I threw the rest of the minced onion into the fridge, and will add to it to fry up for my eggs here in a minute. |

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
The best salad dressing ever is diced (raw) onion, a little mustard, salt, pepper, white balsamic vinegar, and olive oil, all whisked together. You could easily eat a whole onion yourself that way in a few days.

Re: I have an entire bag of onions

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
Recipe, Abbi? That sounds like what I need for after-the-baby's-born meals.

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
I use this recipe as an insperation:
http://southernfood.about.com/od/ing.../bl90911a4.htm I cook the onions in the fat, add salt/pepper and bullion. add flour and slowly add milk (like making gravy) until its still thickish then cool and freeze. I like to freeze it in my jumbo muffin tins before transfering to a ziploc bag so I have recipe sized portions.

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
I do what Abbi does. And I want to eat with Rabbit from now on.
I have nothing to add except I read the thread title as "I have an entire bag of emotions" and couldnt' figure out how eating onions would make one emotional/unstable. |

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
I got such a taste for onions from this thread I went and made myself three scrambled eggs, and heaped them over with this, all sauteed until golden and sweet and fabulous, all coarse chopped: half a jumbo onion, half a red bell pepper, a third a cup of cubed turkey breast (previously roasted). And then I topped the whole plate with a diced roma tomato, garlic, salt and pepper.
My tummy is full of happy. |

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
My MIL makes this onion casserole that is AWESOME! You cut up and saute the onions in butter until they're just soft (not browned at all) and then add a white sauce to them, mix cracker crumbs and butter and put on top, then bake it for 20 minutes or so. Sooo sooo good!!
