This looks absolutely delicious and adds to my uses of onions. They are loaded with nutrients, too, and are good for the health. And crazy simple. Thank you, Sir!

    • @jamesshoemaker3424
      @jamesshoemaker3424 6 месяцев назад +41

      One a tight budget I actually did a variety of onion, potato, and cheap packaged brown gravy meals. I could get two meals out of 1 potato and one onion plus the gravy. Easiest was probably bake 1 potato and onion. When they are about 20 minutes in make the gravy. Get out two bowls. When potato and onion are done you half both. squish the potato halves into the bottom of the two bowls, top the potato with half an onion (I'd usually give each half a chop or three), top with gravy. Also, if you peel potato, you can try to get the strips of skin to be semi evenly sized and fry them up (or bake them), top with salt when cooling and you have the most potato-y potato chips ever. Very easy to burn though.

    I did this not too long ago and decided to bake a potato to go with it. I then scooped out the insides of the potato and mashed them with the onion, some salt, pepper, and a bit of butter, then put the mashed mix back into the potato shell...legitimately one of the best things I've ever made. It was almost disappointing to me that it was so good simply because of how little culinary muscle is required. I like making complex dishes as a general rule...but this one threw me for a loop.

    It always shocks me that so many people don't really eat onions, haha. Where I'm from, eating onions is very common! :) I've been eating them raw and bakes since I was a child, along with garlic.
    The red (purple) ones we usually eat raw - you just eat it with some cold food, like smoked & salted ham, bread, sour cream, and sometimes even some boiled potatoes. (That's what we call the Peasant's dinner!) You can also chop them up, pour some vinegar on them and mix it with some sugar and salt (basically you make a real quick brine) and let it sit for a couple hours, or maybe overnight. It goes well with so many dishes, sandwiches too. It helps with digestion as well!
    As for the cooking onions (white / yellow), we very commonly bake them whenever we bake potatoes. Though, in my family we usually slice them in half, it makes them bake faster and allows you to add some salt or other seasonings on top if you feel like it. We also like to put in many cloves of garlic (the skin should be on!) in between the potatoes, and let those bake as well. You just peel the skin off when it's ready, and you can enjoy your caramelized onions and garlic along with your baked potatoes (and the potatoes taste better too if you bake everything together)!
    It's tasty stuff and healthy as well! Not to mention that onions are usually quite cheap. I really recommend eating them!

      @@legrandarkan Yeah, I think so too. I think it's the effect of growing them in masses in effective ways, not growing them naturally, and sometimes harvesting before they're fully ripe.
      Last summer we planted a few tomato plants. We mostly left them alone, no chemicals, only manual removal of bugs (ofc we could do this because we only had 3 plants, not 300), and only harvested them after the sun got them nice and ripe.
      And oh boy. Those tomatoes and the ones from the store couldn't be more different. The store-bought was dry-ish, didn't have a lot of taste, and it wasn't very sweet - it's sometimes kind of bitter, actually.
      Ours was juicy, had A LOT of taste (and a very good taste at that), it was pleasantly sweet but not to an overwhelming amount.
      I can't wait for it to be summer again, the store-bought tomatoes just don't do it for me anymore. And I think that's the case with almost all veggies and fruit...

    A long time ago I read a book named Bound For Glory, by Woody Guthrie, about his experiences during the depression in America. Many times he would hardly eat. But he told of a memory, on occasion, with things so bad that it was a treat to get hold of an onion, eat it, and felt like he'd eaten all day. What a score. Good book by the way. I'll try this simple pleasure soon. Thanks.

    Roasted onions are really nice like this, and this is definitely authentic, but to everybody reading this.......
    Cut them in half (vertically) with the skin on, and place the halves flat side down in a pan with enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan....add a few sprigs of sage or rosemary (or both), and cook them as long as you would like, adding any additional seasoning at the end (salt, pepper, etc). The onions caramelize on the flat side while remaining tender from leaving the peel on. This is not to bash what is in the video, but you should definitely try it out.
    The pan can go in the oven at room temp, no need to get it hot first!

      Brendan Haley Do any vital onion juices tend to escape with them facing down?

    • @brendanhaley3975
      @brendanhaley3975 5 лет назад +21

      Afterburner No, the skin being left on will help retain most of the moisture. The flat (exposed) part of the onion will be cooking gently in the olive oil, so while that side may crisp a little bit, it shouldn’t dry out or burn in any way. This is why the pan should be at room temperature. If the onions are put on hot oil/preheated pan, that side might get too dark by the time they finish roasting.

    • @afterburner2869
      @afterburner2869 5 лет назад +2

      Brendan Haley Thanks. When you say to cut vertically, you mean from the top of the onion to the bottom rather than from side to side, correct?

    • @brendanhaley3975
      @brendanhaley3975 5 лет назад +9

      Afterburner Yes, you should cut it in half so that from the scaly leaves to the stem, it is split down the middle, and end up with mirror-image halves (they will cook evenly this way).

    • @afterburner2869
      @afterburner2869 5 лет назад +14

      Brendan Haley I appreciate your advice. I’m going to give it a try and I will let you know how it turns out. This sounds like the perfect dish to go with a steak.

      There is really no point in frying them in olive oil, especially extra virgin olive oil, unless you specifically like the taste, as high temperature diminishes advantages of extra virgin olive oil over cheaper oils. I like to fry onions in sunflower oil. Will try to bake them over this weekend with some potatoes.
