Creamedscalloped Onions Recipes

CREAMED/SCALLOPED ONIONS

Steps:

• 1. Peel and cut onions (I halve them then cut in 4-5 pieces from there) If you can find them (we can't get them here any more) you can use 2 or 3 cans of pearl onions instead of cooking reg. white onions) Cover with water and a dash salt and boil until just tender. Drain into a colander over a large bowl and reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid.
• 2. Meanwhile make white sauce by melting 3 tbsp. butter/marg. add 3 tbsp flour, gradually add the 1/4 cup reserved onion water and 1/2 cup of milk, stir constantly over med-high heat until thick. Add dash salt, pepper and onion powder.
• 3. Pour sauce over cooked onions in a greased 2 qt casserole and mix until onions are all coated. Butter 3 slices of bread and cut into cubes, place over onions butter side up in a single layer and bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes until bread cubes are crisp and lightly browned and sauce is bubbly.

• Peel the onions and remove the tops and tails using a sharp knife.
• Add water to a large saucepan and lightly salt the water. Bring to the boil. Add the onions and bring back to boiling point. Reduce the heat and allow the onions to simmer for 20 minutes until tender.
• Remove the onions from the heat and drain. Allow to cool slightly before cutting the onions in half. Arrange the onion halves flat side down or cut side down in the greased baking dish.
• Place the thyme sprigs in different places between the onions in the dish.
• Pour the cream over the onions and top with a light dusting of freshly ground black pepper.
• Bake in the oven uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbling and turning slightly golden brown. Remove the thyme sprigs. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm from the dish.

SCALLOPED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the onions begin to caramelize, about 20 minutes. Add the thyme and garlic and cook 1 minute.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the Swiss chard and blanch until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and squeeze on towels to remove excess liquid.
• Spread a layer of potatoes in the bottom of the prepared dish, slightly overlapping the slices. Season with Essence, and top with a layer of the onions. Place a layer of Swiss chard on top, followed by more potatoes and onions. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Add the cream, top with cheese and cover with foil.
• Roast until nearly all the liquid has been absorbed, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until golden brown and bubbly, an additional 15 to 20 minutes.

MOM'S TRADITIONAL CREAMED ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel onions, and drop into boiling water. Cook until tender. Drain, reserving liquid. Set onions aside while you make the sauce.
• Melt butter or margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour to make a paste. Mix together cooking water and milk. Add milk mixture slowly to the saucepan, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add onions, and transfer to a serving dish.

CREAMY BAKED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Peel and trim the roots of the onions but leave them whole. Cook in a large pan of boiling water for 25 mins until tender, then drain, reserving a little cooking water.
• Season the cream and mix in 2 tbsp of the onion water. When the onions are cool enough to handle, slice each in half through the root. Lay the onion halves, cut side down, in a large baking dish with the bay leaves. Pour over the cream, scatter with the Parmesan, and bake for 25 mins until the cream is bubbling and the onions are just beginning to brown.

R-RATED ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel your onions and cut them in half through their stem ends-longways, if you will. Slice them thinly with the grain, following the line from root to stem rather than cutting the onion across its belly. This is actually important because slicing it the other way makes the path to silky onions a longer one.
• Once your onions are sliced, heat your skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil, then the onions and the salt. Let the onions sizzle for a couple minutes. Stir with a wooden spoon or a heatproof spatula and watch as they wilt for about 3 more minutes. At this point, reduce the heat to medium low. Put a lid on and step away for a few minutes. Give the onions a stir every now and then. You don't have to stand over it like risotto, but don't go for a walk around the block either. Caramelized bits will accumulate at the bottom and sides of the pan, and that's good. Just scrape them up and stir them in. A little color building as you go is okay, but don't rush to brown them. The point is to cook the onions gently, coaxing them through stages of raw, wilted, sweaty, soft, light brown, and finally deeply caramelized
• About 45 minutes in, remove the lid for the last time. They should be a light caramel color. Now, with the lid off, you will need to watch more closely and stir more frequently. At some point you may find that despite your best efforts some of the caramelized bits, verging on burnt, cling to the pan and threaten over all onion ruin. Do not fret! Just add a ½ cup or so of water and use its energy to help scrape up the stubborn but tasty film. Let the water cook out of course. When you're smiling over a soft, creamy, fragrant pile of mahogany onions, you're done.
• Note: R-Rated Onions will keep in the fridge for a week and in the freezer for 3 months.
