Onion Recipes?

[dawnyp]

We joined a farm share and have onions galore at our house right now. I am in need of some good recipes featuring onions - anybody have one?

French onion soup comes to mind:

Ooh and not sure if you have red onions, but i love pickled red onions:

whenever i have excess of onions (of any kind, including green, and i usually use a mix/combo), i cook them with sesame oil, rice wine, and soysauce and add thinly sliced beef. although i'm not sure if you can find the super thin beef at non-asian grocery stores.

yum, jenn

H doesn't like pickled things. He has a very strange aversion to pickles.

I bet I can find thinly sliced meat at uwajimaya. I don't eat beef but I could substitute pork or chicken just as easily.

I also found a tasty recipe for baked onion rings.

hmm..i'm not sure if UW has it. i don't really shop there. i shop at mostly korean and chinese supermarkets, but it's possible. and yes, chicken works, too. i just usually do beef cause h likes that more than chicken.

another option: chop them up and freeze them in ziplock bags. my mom does this when she chops up too much. they don't hold their shape too well and do lose a little water, so not great if you're going to use raw onions for something, but they're perfectly good to cook with.

On the same note as French onion soup (which is my first choice), you could do a caramelized onion/balsamic spread with it...

I have never had this problem. We put onions in EVERYTHING.

lol us too - we buy them by the bag. Plus, they last a pretty long time IMO so I don't usually feel rushed to use them up.

Peel one, core the middle, and stuff with butter, wrap in foil and throw it on the grill. Yum.

Onion pie! I don't have an actual recipe but you cut up a lot of onions. Like 10 or so bc they cook down. Caramelize them in a pan with lots of butter and season with salt to taste. Let them cool a bit and put into a large bowl. Add 3 eggs, a regular size container of sour cream and pour the whole mixture into a frozen pie crust. Top with parm cheese.

Holy crapola that sounds SO GOOD OMG.

Yeah, we're making that this weekend.

Also... is the sour cream container 16oz? What's "regular" for you?

Amazing. Def. cooks faster and they're buttery and delicious. We do it camping to, and throw it on the fire ring. I can eat them plain, DH prefers these onions on a burger.

[dawnyp]

These all sound so amazing. The hard part will be deciding what to actually make.

When I have a bunch I just start using them in weekend breakfasts ... part of an omelet or whatnot.

Also caramelizing them and putting them on burgers & hot dogs works too.
