CARAMELIZED ONION TORTILLA

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add onions; cover and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring once half way through.
• Reduce heat to low; cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and golden, about 45 minutes, let cool for 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the eggs, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; Stir into onions.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat; add the egg-onion mixture.
• Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, then occasionally loosen the edges with a spatula to allow the uncooked portion to flow to the bottom of the pan until eggs are almost set, about 10 minutes.
• Place a plate over the top of the skillet; holding firmly together, invert the plate and the skillet so the tortilla falls onto the plate.
• Slide the tortilla back into the skillet, browned side side up; Cook until the bottom is browned and the inside is cooked through BUT still moist, about 5 minutes.
• Slide the tortilla onto a serving plate and cut into wedges, Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature, garnish with sage leaves.

GARLIC ONION TORTILLA CAKE

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring to caramelize but not over brown. Add butter and sugar and cook until onions have nicely caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
• Once cooled mix together the remaining ingredients except for the tortillas and vinegar; refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• After mixture has had time to meld, set aside 1/3 of the mixture for the dipping sauce and evenly spread the remaining mixture on the top of 11 tortillas. Stack the tortillas on top of one another, with the last tortilla on top having no mixture spread on it. Wrap tortilla stack in plastic wrap and let set up for 12 to 24 hours in refrigerator.
• Heat a grill heat. Cut the stack into 16 wedges. Grill each wedge on each side until warmed and grill marks appear. Mix reserved mixture with balsamic vinegar for dipping sauce. Serve tortilla wedges with dipping sauce.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND JALAPENO QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir onion until softened and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add jalapeno peppers to onion; cook and stir until onion is browned, about 10 minutes more. Transfer onion mixture to a plate.
• Heat about 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet and add 1 tortilla. Top tortilla with 1/4 cup Mexican cheese blend, 1/2 of the onion mixture, and 1/4 cup Mexican cheese blend, respectively; top with 1 tortilla. Cook quesadilla until browned and cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil, tortillas, cheese, and onion mixture.

PEAR, CARAMELIZED ONION, AND BRIE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion until soft and translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in honey, thyme, salt, and pepper; continue to cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Add pears and cook until just softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease with nonstick cooking spray. Place 1 tortilla in the skillet and top with 1/4 of the Brie. Add 1/4 of the onion-pear mixture and cover with a second tortilla. Weigh down quesadilla with a smaller skillet or plate and cook until lightly browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
• Repeat with remaining tortillas, Brie cheese, and onion-pear mixture. Slice quesadillas into wedges, or wrap in foil to take along for a picnic.

CARAMELISED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a low heat.
• Add the onions with a generous pinch of salt and cook slowly for 30-40 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning until they become soft and golden. If the onions start to catch, add a splash of water to the pan and mix well.
• Add the sugar and vinegar to give them a sweet, slightly sharp chutney flavour. Keep cooking on a low heat for another 5 mins, stirring occasionally until the mix is sticky, the sugar has dissolved and the vinegar has reduced. The onions are now ready to serve, or use in a recipe.
