Oh my gosh. I love onions. I should save this for a Friday question but man alive, how good are onions? Raw, cooked, caramelized, baked, boiled, roasted, grilled, I don't care. I love them any which way AND, more important to me right now, onions don't wonk-out my belly. Hot dog.So get this. Today, I brewed a killer batch of chicken stock, then I used the stock to hydrate millet seeds (on low simmer with lid). About one part millet to nearly four parts liquid (the ratio depends on if I want a fluffy rice-like dish or a porridge, or somewhere in the middle. Then, I caramelized onions to go as a side, to the side of millet and YUM.
So flippin' good.
I think that's about all here. Dish is done, supper is prepped for tomorrow, and soon, I'll be unplugged, in The Lemon Tart Room, watching something fun. Or maybe something scary. Or maybe something fun AND scary.
Yep, that's the ticket.
Everything is better with onions, garlic and hot sauce. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of hot sauce do you fancy?
DeleteI like them too!
ReplyDeleteCool beans.
DeleteI like onions but I can only eat pickled or cooked onions. If I eat raw one they trigger my migraines.
ReplyDeleteLike the nightshade veggies, if I eat them they must be cooked.
cheers, parsnip
Parsnip: I've never pickled them myself, but have tasted a few, but really cannot recall what they were like. They were mixed with other veggies.
DeleteSorry to hear that the raw triggers your migraines. Has it been that way for you all your life? Are there any nightshades that you miss eating, raw?
Stu: Haha.
I like onions too and I think they are good for you. Sounds like a delicious meal. I'm stuck with watching football tonight. My son's favorite team is playing.
ReplyDeleteYou're a good mom. Hope you guys had fun. Do you order pizza during the game?
DeleteHad an uncle who didn't like onions. His wife was a good cook and we visited she made a casserole for him and another for us with onions in it. Weird, but then he was a tad odd at times.
ReplyDeleteI would do the same thing for someone, if they didn't like onions.
DeleteWell I guess one would have to, but I would hate to live with a picky eater. Would drive me barmy. The last time I made pickled onions, years ago, I had them in a fridge which was in our shed and they froze and the jars burst. In NC, wouldn't have thought it would get cold enough.
DeleteWe have family in NC, and yeah, I wouldn't have thought it was cold enough either. Wow. Although, they tell us that when NC gets even an inch of snow, they shut down everything.
DeleteOnions are an essential element of cuisine (along with salt, butter, and garlic).
ReplyDeleteGarlic and onions, I love.
DeleteHey Ivy,
ReplyDeleteYep, me too, I love me some onions. A killer batch of chicken stock. Sounds dangerous! :)
Time for some red onions, methinks. They are very strong tasting onions.
Gary
Red onions are lovely. Even in soups or just eaten raw as a side. Yum.
DeleteOnions now that's something that can bring tears to my eyes!
ReplyDeleteHahaha.
Deleteahhh, onions...we eat them with just about every single thing...love them any which way. Hubs LUVS the smell of onions being fried...thinks they should come out with a room spray with the fragrance of....FRYIN' ONIONS....lol
ReplyDeleteI love that. Your hubby sounds like a funny guy and FRYIN' ONIONS would be a great candle.
Deleteonions add so much flavour to everything, I'm with you!
ReplyDeleteYum.
DeleteGotta agree, Onions whatever way you eat them are the food of Gods!
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteI agree - onions are the best! We go through three to five pounds a week.
ReplyDeleteYum.
DeleteI agree!
ReplyDeleteI love when they go on sale :-)
DeleteMe, too. Onions are the best. I go through oodles of them. Oodles, I tell you.
ReplyDeleteOodles of Onions, sounds like a great title of a dish.
DeleteI'll skip the scary but take double on the onions-my favorite veg hands down! Love 'em!
ReplyDeleteCool beans. What's your favorite way to eat them?
DeleteOnions should always be in the house ready to be cooked ... or eaten raw ... depending on what meal you may be preparing!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Yum :-)
DeleteI love onions as well! :)
