I don't want a couple rings of the onion, I want the full sweet slice of onion on my burger.

Post by: ben ji on April 27, 2015, 08:29:20 PM: Lets talk favorite onions. White? Yellow? Red? GREEN?!?

Wow they are all so good!

Yellow- Usually have a bag of these in my pantry. Just a great all purpose onion. Need some diced onions for salsa? CHECK! What about some onions to sautee? CHECK!

White- I never really eat these, not sure why. Need to start eating more.

Red- The perfect sandwich onion. Also great in salads.

Green- Wowzers, just dice these up and they take any dish from a "10" to a "11".

Post by: kso_FAN on April 27, 2015, 08:32:28 PM: Sometimes I will take a vidalia onion and slice it in half. Then stick on some butter, spices, wrap in foil and add a little beef broth. Throw a few on the grill when I start it, cook some steaks, then pull them off. Enjoy!

Title: Re: A thread for onion lovers
Post by: steve dave on April 28, 2015, 09:24:19 AM: get a huge pan and put in a mixture of half butter and half olive oil over medium/high heat, determine how much of this mixture you need based on how many onions you are using (see next step). slice one medium onion per person that is eating (maybe even more, they cook down to almost nothing, you need a lot of onions and a very big pan). slices can be pretty big. like cut it in half and then slice like 10-15 times across each half so you have like half moon pieces and then just pull them apart. put them in the butter/oil mixture in the pan and then reduce the heat to just above simmer. salt, pepper, pinch of sugar and then stir. keep stirring periodically for like 40 minutes until they are really caramelized. you will want to go longer than you think you need to. the key is low heat for a long time. dump them on top of a burger or sandwich or chicken or basically anything you are eating.

the potato has proven to be the most versatile vegetable in the history of mankind

do I prefer #browns with onions and peppers? of course I do. will I eat #browns sans onions? of course I will

and french fries? they're kind of a big deal

and mashed potatoes? #thanksgiving

and loaded baked? #longbone

and potato chips? #applepie
Title: Re: A thread for onion lovers
Post by: Spracne on April 28, 2015, 01:24:54 PM: I'm no tater hater, but it's clear that the humble potato is merely a flavordeliverysystem.com.

Fries? Salt, herbs, ketchup, truffle aioli, etc

Mashed potatoes? milk, butter, gravy

loaded baked? self-explanatory

potato chips? salt, everything else under the sun

Potatoes have a lot of innate advantages that make them an ideal flavordeliverysystem and so are not without merit.
