I'm in the UK, so don't mention Velveeta or any other great American products. :-) Thanks. Sun Mar 18 00:47:33 -0700 2007 11939 zuriga1 1 2396464 Carmelized onions are great on a burger (no velveeta, please!). With a homegrown tomato! Sun Mar 18 00:55:37 -0700 2007 2396457 69476 jwbarth 2 2401847 Definitely on a burger, and with boursin! Mon Mar 19 17:42:55 -0700 2007 2396464 76025 mojoeater 1 2396469 Cook them down even further with a litle white wine and rosemary and use them as a pasta sauce. Best on whole wheat pasta. I did a blog post on them last year. http://frugalcuisine.blogspot.com/2006/05/caramelized-onions-many-ways.html Sun Mar 18 01:04:44 -0700 2007 2396457 15802 pepper_mil 1 2396483 I like a caramelized onion frittata finished with a little sherry vinegar (credit to Deborah Madison.) They are great in quiche too with any other ingredient. You can use them on croutons spread with goat cheese. Add to braised chicken dishes. I prefer raw onion on hamburgers, though. Sun Mar 18 01:25:55 -0700 2007 2396457 39764 coconutz 1 2396516 I like caramelized onions on baby spinach with a dijon vinaigrette. Yum! Sun Mar 18 02:53:24 -0700 2007 2396457 17930 rmperry 1 2396543 They are also very good with steak. Sun Mar 18 04:37:30 -0700 2007 2396457 10985 MMRuth 1 2396568 I like to slowly cook onions (not necessarily red onions) on my cast iron pan until they are carmelized. When done I put them into a glass jar to keep in the fridge. Good to have on hand and ready to use. Add to an omlet, gravy, soups, hamburger sandwich, or whatever you are making. All ready and waiting. If need be, can be heated in a jiffy! Sun Mar 18 05:08:48 -0700 2007 2396457 65993 Lisbet 1 2397003 Puree with balsamic vinegar, honey, salt and pepper, olive oil. Good served warm over salmon. Sun Mar 18 10:02:38 -0700 2007 2396457 72822 tigerbitesman 1 2397007 Caramelized onions are great as a topping for steaks (mixed in with some red wine and reduced), you can mix them into beef stews, use them as a spread in grilled ham & cheese sandwiches on a crusty bread, sauté some sliced apples, mix in the caramelized onions, and use it as a complement to roasted chicken. Sun Mar 18 10:07:27 -0700 2007 2396457 10532 LindaWhit 1 2397019 delicious in a tart with goat cheese Sun Mar 18 10:11:49 -0700 2007 2396457 30273 hotoynoodle 2 2401836 I second the tart, though I paired the onions with roasted butternut squash and rosemary instead of the cheese. Mon Mar 19 17:40:38 -0700 2007 2397019 10681 piccola 1 2397240 I love caramelized onions on just about anything, but they go particularly well with goat cheese and blue cheese, such as on a sandwich (grilled), in pasta, or on pizza. I like to put them in quesadillas with jack cheese. Also, I recently made a few savory galettes with roasted delicata squash, thyme, caramelized onions and just a dusting of gruyere. Delicious!! Sun Mar 18 11:48:55 -0700 2007 2396457 42934 ScarletB 1 2397256 I love caramelized onions in grilled cheese sandwiches. Top-notch! Sun Mar 18 11:55:07 -0700 2007 2396457 29608 Neuromancer 1 2399842 Two ideas that I love myself... (1) Caramelized onions (with a touch of balsamic vinegar) added to quiche recipe -- very nice flavor addition. (2) Tarte flambe (Alsatian onion tart). This is a little bastardized, but the outcome is great, especially for parties. Roll out puff pastry dough till paper thin, spread thin layer of creme fraiche and top with finely diced (uncooked) lardons/bacon and caramelized onions. Bake until dough is cooked through. Delicious, sinfully delicious... Mon Mar 19 09:31:24 -0700 2007 2396457 52967 Night Owl 1 2399980 Good with a bulb of fennel, sliced, and maybe some citrus zest/juice.... I did something along those lines w/ fish recently, and it was great! Mon Mar 19 09:57:49 -0700 2007 2396457 84107 ErasmusBDragon 2 2399997 Thanks for all the wonderful ideas!! I better invest in a red onion patch. Mon Mar 19 10:01:56 -0700 2007 2399980 11939 zuriga1 1 2402979 Last night, I heated my caramelized onions (actually the onion marmalade recipe from Zuni) in the microwave, piled on crostini and topped w/ a shard of aged gouda, which melted just slightly from the heat off the onions. It was pretty good. Don't ask why I was making apps for myself on a Monday night. No self control at all. Tue Mar 20 06:14:55 -0700 2007 2396457 10471 danna 1 2403309 I cook them down in a pan with a little balsamic & toss in a salad with artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, chicken & a balasmic or dressing of your choice....adds a little kick to the salad...or they are also very good in a cesar salad with steak or chicken & sauteed mushrooms. Tue Mar 20 08:07:35 -0700 2007 2396457 26558 MiniMom 2 2448354 Red onion jam with fig, and dried cherries. For a spread or to use with med rare duck, or lamb.
