What to do with the onions

[Thenthatsthatthen]

Someone has left a food parcel on our doorstep this morning-bread, milk, fruit and 31 red onions. What on Earth can I cook with 31 onions?

We’re vegetarian so french onion soup is out the equation.

I had onion hating DC too, because if the texture I used to bung them in a food processor before cooking.

When I'm feeling organised I still do, along with carrots and celery and freeze the mix in small portions ready to start casseroles/soups.

I love the fact that you counted them
Roast veg is always improved with red onions- they'll keep well til you get some courgettes/ sweet potatoes/ cherry tomatoes/ peppers
Or grill on skewers with peppers and mushrooms

That's a lot of onions!

We got 2kg on an order once, I split it up -

Veggie lasagne, chop and freeze, chunky veg soup, quiche, chilli, ratatouille, slice and freeze or slice with other veg and freeze for a general base mix for spag bol etc
We also just added onion to things like pasta, omelettes, salads, on tuna filled baked potatoes etc

I've made vegetarian French onion soup many times and it's always been delicious - never have it with beef stock though so can't compare :) This pasta with caramelised onion and feta is one of my favourite meals. Really easy and full of flavour

We had this problem a couple of weeks ago and made this, it was delicious: www.allrecipes.com/recipe/11868/onion-pasta/

We bake whole onion in its skin alongside a roast. They go sweet and sticky. Give it a try. They are very nutritious.

Great minds @YouAndMeAndTheDevilMakesThree 😄

We’re not huge onion eaters, we go through A small bag of shallots a month at most dc will pick them out of most things unless blended down. So 31 is a lot for us, I didn’t realise how long they keep though, so I won’t rush to finish the rest up. Thank you for your suggestions!

Coleslaw - chop onions & red cabbage, grate carrot, & add a dollop of mayonaise.

Pass some onions around to your neighbors. Leave a couple of onions on each neighbors doorstep. If you get seen you may get called a witch though 😂 oh wait that's supposed to be garlic I think

I must be missing something. 31 onions is only one a day for the next month

Also onion tart, fry about four onions for an hour until they caramelise, into a pastry case and top with cream and eggs or creme fraiche then bake, The key is the looooong vpcooking of the onions.

I make this recipe from ds2's vegan cookbook which uses two red onions.

yybfrench onion soup is veggie surely.

Red onions will keep for weeks. I use about six - wo onions a week anyway.

[fronttoback]

I bought a bagful around new year. They last for ages if you keep them in the dark and fairly cool (but not damp) - we had the last one a week ago.

I pickle red onions. Apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt. Lovely in salads, sandwiches etc. Go really well with strong smoked fish like mackerel, or with cured meats.

Get yourself an Indian cook book. 31 onions is nothing!

And they keep for ages. At the start of lockdown, I found some red onions at the very bottom of my salad drawer. They were still absolutely fine.

Sorry op, cross post!

[Redwinestillfine]

I'd freeze a load but definitely make onion bhaji's....mmmmmm

[Thenthatsthatthen]

I have passed some onto next door, chopped and frozen some of them into individual portions, made bhaji’s and will be making some french onion soup tomorrow. DC would like to make onion rings so we shall attempt them as well next week. Hopefully that will use up the remainder of the onions

Here's a lovely-looking vegetarian french onion soup recipe - 6 onions, you could always put more in though...

We had mejadra last night. This recipe only uses four onions but I’d happily use a couple more.
