Vidalia onions

SharkE — Fri, 07 Jun 2019 14:35:04 GMT

Got tired of waiting on Sam's Club to bring them in, so, I went back to

Morris Farms and having 20 lb sent to me.

Coming today ! Yay ! gotta have my onion ROFL They will keep in refrigerator until May of next yr. because they're fresh dug. Sure, they will

grow sprouts, but, cut it off. Usually don't start sprouting till first of the yr.

Can't take those plain onions. Tx. sweet onion my *** those things will grow hair on your chest. If it's not from Ga. it's not worth eating. LOL

Love my Vidalia's!

I'm in GA, so very plentiful in all grocery stores!

Do you ever bake them?

Just core and put 1 tbs. butter in the middle and 1 beef bouillon cube, wrap in foil and bake in oven or on the grill....delish!

No, never tried that. I have to pay thru the nose to have them shipped to Tx. but, it is , what it is.

Wonder why Q doesn't sell them like they do oranges?

I have seen Vidalia onions advertised for several years but didn't buy any until last year. OMG I love them. The hype was right! I slice them and eat them and I also cook with them. Sad that I waited so long to try them. They have been available in local stores for a couple months.

Earlier in the week, I made some fried cabbage / onions / bacon and used Vidalia onions.

Also - delicious in a cucumber salad ... sliced cucumbers, onions marinated a bit in rice wine vinegar and honey.

If you like French Onion soup, you'll love these!

You can also use vegetable or chicken buillion if you prefer, but the beef gives it the French Onion soup taste.

Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes or until they feel soft.

You can also microwave them to save time, but they're not as flavorful, IMO.

Place in a microwave safe container with a lid and microwave on high for 6-8 minutes or until tender.

Enjoy!

@KingstonsMom Sounds wonderful--thanks for the details and suggestions! I'll opt for the oven bake!

I also meant to mention that I usually use 'Better Than Boullion', it's a paste in small jars and 1 tsp equals 1 cube.

To me it has a better beefy taste and is not as salty as the cubes.

Please let me know what you think when you try them!

Who has vidalia onions sent to them? I live in Michigan and I can just buy them at my local grocery store.

I buy Vidalia onions whenever they are available. The best!

I do, only way you can get them is big ol' 1 pound individual onion size.

Don't know why they're not bringing them in , in the 5 lb bag yet.

I even talked to the produce mgr at Sam's he says "maybe by end of month or first of July". Huh ? they will be sold out if you try to order them later

I always thought they send the lesser ones to the stores and the better quality ones were for the people who paid the bigger price. Then, the ones I got at Sam's were good , so, I thought I would just get 4-5 bags from them when they came in . they haven't come in yet, so, I'm going back to get them directly before they sell out.

@ALRATIBA: Yum! Fried cabbage sounds so good. I've never fried cabbage before. I usually bake it in a casserole dish and add bacon, onions, garlic, bell pepper. The next time I have cabbage, I'm going to fry it.

Start with the bacon .... fried until crispy ... drain excess bacon fat and add onions and cook until translucent, mushrooms, peppers... then add cabbage, Add salt, pepper and any other spices.

I frequently use the bags of Dole coleslaw mix .... cabbage and grated carrots. Saves me having to cut the cabbage.

@ALRATIBA: Fantastic idea, using coleslaw mix. That will definetely save me from all the chopping! Thanks

I love them just sauteed in butter. I don't know how many I've gone through in the last 10 days since they've been in our stores. I could eat in plate full of them.

The last bag we bought were out of this world! The best I've ever had.

@ starke
Any hints for keeping onions. Years ago I tried putting them in pantyhose and hanging in basement. Any other tricks?
