Melted Onions Recipes

Steps:

• In a wide skillet with a lid, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. When melted, add the onions in batches, stirring to coat. Reduce the heat to very low, cover and cook, stirring often, until very soft and translucent, about 30 minutes. The onions may turn light gold, but they should not brown.
• Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, cover and continue cooking until onions are golden and melting into a purée, 30 to 60 minutes more depending on the thickness of the onions.
• In a microwave, heat the cream until warm, add the tomato paste, and stir until dissolved.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water with 1 tablespoon salt to a boil over high heat for the pasta.
• When the onions are cooked, stir the cream mixture into the skillet along with a dozen grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion mixture is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until tender, then drain and return to the pot. Immediately add the onion mixture and Parmesan cheese and toss together. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper; add a little more tomato paste if the mixture needs sweetness or acidity.
• Serve immediately, sprinkling each serving lightly with parsley, if you'd like. Pass more cheese at the table.

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat. Throw in the sliced onions and cook slowly until the onions are golden brown and soft, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, Worcestershire and some salt and pepper. Form into 4 patties.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties on both sides until totally done in the middle.
• Assemble the patty melts this way: Slice of bread, slice of cheese, hamburger patty, a quarter of the cooked onions, another slice of cheese and another slice of bread.
• On a clean griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and grill the sandwiches until golden brown. Remove the sandwiches and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Return the sandwiches to the skillet, flipping them to the other side. Cook until golden brown and crisp, and until the cheese is melted. Slice in half and serve immediately!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl mix the vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil together and pour over the tenderloin, turning every 10 minutes, for 30 minutes. Pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saute pan over high heat. Sear the tenderloin until evenly colored and transfer to the oven. Cook until the pork reaches the internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Remove from the pan and allow to rest 15 minutes. Thinly slice.
• While tenderloin is in the marinade, in a small pot over high heat add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and saute the onions, fennel, garlic and thyme until just colored. Reduce the heat to low and deglaze with the sake. Cover with a lid and cook for 30 minutes, stirring periodically until the onions are translucent and soft. Remove from heat.
• In a small bowl, using a fork, mix in the remaining herbs and the goat cheese and season with and salt and pepper, to taste.
• While the onions are cooking, thinly slice the bread. Rub each piece with a garlic clove and season lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle each piece with olive oil and bake until golden but still soft in the center, 10 minutes.
• On a piece of garlic crostini spread a thin later of goat cheese mixture. Top with a thin slice of tenderloin, then the onion mixture and lastly dollop of creme fraiche.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in a large skillet and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions break down and are completely soft (they will be a lovely medium to dark brown), several hours.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. In a large, heavy-based flameproof casserole dish with a lid, melt the butter over a medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cook for 10 mins until starting to brown, then transfer to a small plate.
• Put the flour in a large plastic food bag with plenty of black pepper. Add half the beef, shake to coat, then remove, leaving some flour in the bag. Add the rest of the beef and shake to coat in the remaining flour.
• Heat the oil in the same casserole dish you cooked the onions in (there's no need to clean it first). Add the beef and bay leaves, and fry until the meat is browned all over. Pour in the wine and return the onions to the dish. Add the tomato purée and stock, stir and return to a simmer. Cover with the lid and put in the oven to stew for 1 hr.
• After 1 hr, add the mushrooms and return to the oven for another hour. Taste the meat - if it's tender, remove from the oven. If it's still a little firm, cook for 30 mins more and test again. Serve scattered with parsley, if you like.
