CLASSIC BAKED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Peel your onion, leaving the root intact. If your onion sits level, you can leave it alone. If not, cut a thin slice off the root to create a flat bottom.

• Insert a vegetable, chicken or beef bouillon cube into the hole.
• Fill the rest of the hole with butter, about 1-2 tablespoons. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the filled onion on a sheet of foil large enough to encase it.

• Bake for 45-60 minutes, until the onion is tender. Serve warm.

LINDA'S ONIONS IN GARLIC CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice or dice the butter into small pieces, and melt it over low heat in a NON-aluminum saucepan.
• It's important to avoid aluminum, because it tends to turn light-colored sauces an unappetizing gray hue.
• When the butter has begun to foam and bubble, vigorously mix in the flour with a wooden spoon, or wire whisk.
• If you want your final sauce to be white, make absolutely sure not to let the roux turn brown.
• If it does begin to get tinged with beige, turn down the burner, or remove the pot from the heat altogether, to let the roux cool down for a few seconds.
• Let cook and bubble 2-3 minutes, until the roux is smooth, and has the consistency of cake frosting.
• This removes the floury taste.
• When making a roux-based sauce, always be sure that the roux and the liquid (milk or stock) are different temperatures before you combine them.
• If the roux is hot, the liquid should be cold; if the roux is cold, the liquid should be hot.
• Combining the 2 ingredients at different temperatures allows them to heat up at a moderate rate, not too fast, and not too slow, ensuring a velvety-smooth, lump-free sauce.
• If you're not yet a sauce expert, try the hot liquid/cold roux approach first.
• That way, you can gradually add roux until the sauce is the exact thickness you like.
• Gradually stir in milk, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
• Bring to boil, and then reduce heat.
• Let simmer 3-5 minutes, or until thickened.
• Keep warm.
• Cook onions in boiling water, until fork inserted in center, goes in easily, 15-20 mins.
• You don't want the onions to be mushy.
• Strain, and put in serving dish.
• Pour sauce over onions.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.
