Onion rings

[dianeseattle]

I have two lovely Neighbors who go to the food bank every week for themselves and their family and they always bring me a box of food that they either don't want or can't eat. This has been a real dilemma for me and has left me with about 20 lb of onions. Now I don't know what to do with all these onions. But I did make onion rings once and I was reminded how bad they are for me. Here is an alternative recipe:

No-Fry Onion Rings

Oven-baked onion rings with the flavor and crunch of traditional deep-fried onion rings

I love onion rings! I'll have to try the oven-baked ones. Do you like caramelized onions? You could make some batches up and freeze them. I love them with sauteed mushrooms.

Ummm! Carmelized onions w/ mushrooms are my fave steak topping. Now my mouth's watering!

Onions make me break out with hard acne that is painful. I love breaded onion rings too. I miss them

French onion soup will use up a lot of onions.

Onion rings are hit and miss with me sometimes they are good other times can’t stand them . Depends on where I get them

I can think of many applications for caramelized onions, yum.

Carmelized onions go great in broccoli cauliflower pitas, called New York goodwhiches. From book called fit for life.

Not only are onions one of the best flavor adds around, but you can freeze them raw, once they're chopped/diced/sliced or whatever it is you want to do to them. So you can save them for a rainy day, when a soup (french onion, chicken noodle, etc) sounds good. You can freeze them sliced with peppers for use in a pepper steak or fajita recipe.

I've never frozen an onion! Didn't even know you could. Good to know.

Our local Kroger's has a frozen onion & 3 color pepper blend (red yellow green) that is perfect in everything from meatloaf to omelets to soups/stews etc. Frozen onions are such a great timesaver!

I use onions on so much food. I prefer the large sweet onions that many restaurants used for blooming onions. Gut it into 4 wedges, dice them up figuring each is now a medium size onion recipe ingredient, and toss them in the freezer. Fastest way I know how to dice up an onion.

I also like to use red onions either diced raw with Basalmic, red wine vinegar and pesto to put on a sandwich or use to give a bit of flavor using cured meats like pastrami, corned beef etc. Also Great to slice, stuff in a jar with a few peppercorns and vinegar for a quick 5 minute pickleing to use on other dishes I like such at Peurco Pebil or a few other dishes I make frequently.

What's with the Walla Walla sweet? They used to be so good, you could eat 'emlike an apple. Now all onions seem toxic, noxious, fumey, just awful. Must be the stuff they add to the soil. Almost every dish i make starts with onion sauteed and just arent the veg they used to be.

Agreed. This last bag of Mayan Sweet from Sams club has been outstanding. Sweet Onions (6 lbs.) - Sam's Club
