VIDALIA RECIPES?

eddyandme — Thu, 02 May 2019 23:43:25 GMT

Now that these sweet onions are being featured in the market, anyone wish to share their favoriate recipe(s)?

My mainstay: Place a slice with some genoa salami between two slices of buttered black bread with a smidgeon of grey poupon.

Love 'real' onion soup with cheese dripping from the crock, but that's waaay too much work for me.

Any faves you'd like to share?

@eddyandme Because they are sweet, I like them raw, in guacamole, on hamburgers and grilled chicken breasts with cheese, any way to eat them raw, and sometimes when I am nibbling cheese while waiting for the meat to cook, I eat them with the cheese. I remember Martha Stewart saying that she likes onion sandwiches.

@sunshine45. Sounds like the salads I used to get when I lived in Turkey. They were delicious!

Vidalia Sweet Onion Cookbook and Onions Nationwide

by Morris Farms, Uvalda, Georgia, page 101

Rosemary-Glazed Vidalia Onions

3 pounds small Vidalia onions, peeled

salt to taste

Glaze:

1/4 cup butter

1/3 cup sugar

2 tsps. lemon juice

1/2 tsp. dried rosemary leaves

In a 3 quart saucepan add 1 inch of water to onions and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered, 20 minutes or until tender, but intact. Keep onions hot. Drain water.

Meanwhile, make the glaze by combining butter, sugar, lemon juice and rosemary. With a wooden spoon stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil. Add onions. Cook, uncovered 10 minutes turning onions several times until glazed.

Makes 10 to 12 servings.

Note: This is a cookbook from Morris Farms where I also ordered their Vidalias based on the recommendation of a fellow QVC forum member @sharke last spring.

When I was a kid I did not eat BLT's because I was never a fan of bacon. So my mother always made me a tomato & mayo sandwich or even a lettuce, tomato & mayo sandwich! They were so delicious & cooling on a hot summer day in those days of few & far between air conditioners!

For those of you who are looking for a way to perk up plain egg whites . . .

Rough chop your onion, toss it into an 8-10" hot pan with a generous lump of melting butter, toss well.

When onion begins to separate, cover and cook onion until lightly browning (stir as needed).

Spread onion to cover bottom of pan, cover with liquid egg whites (i use about 4 oz), reduce heat, cover & cook until whites are just opaque.

Cover egg surface with a big handful of fresh spinach (I chop mine up) and top that with shaved horseradish-cheddar cheese.

Cover, heat should be at minimum, wilt the spinach and melt the cheese. Top with minced red pepper for color.

Slide it out onto a warmed plate.

@Scorpio1971 I eat mine open faced on a slice of 21 grain bread, great for breakfast also. I don't have air conditioning, so on hot days am always thinking up cool meals for me, DH likes a hot meal at night, let him perspire, lol, I stay cool.

The open faced idea sounds good too! Hope you do stay cool! 😊
