SAUTEED APPLES AND ONIONS



Sauteed Apples and Onions image

This was once a pioneer favorite. Yes, it sounds weird, but it's delicious. You'll want to have something to go with this that has some protein, like a garden burger or a brown rice packet, both of which you can microwave. Apples and onions only takes about 10 minutes, a few dollars and it's delicious as a topping for rice or even by itself for a light snack.

POMEGRANATE BAKED RICE AND ONIONS WITH DILL



Pomegranate Baked Rice and Onions With Dill image

This tangy-sweet casserole is adapted from Shimi Aaron, an Israeli chef also known for his elaborate chocolate babkas. In this colorful dish, a layer of short-grain rice studded with pine nuts and dill is bathed in pomegranate juice and honey, and topped with shingles of red and yellow onions. When it emerges from the oven, the onions glisten like jewels, and the rice is fragrant, tender and a little sticky. Serve this as a meatless main course with a crisp salad, or as scene-stealing side dish alongside a simple roast chicken or fish.

Categories     casseroles, grains and rice, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons unsalted butter or vegan butter, plus more for greasing the pan
3 medium yellow onion, peeled
2 medium red onions, peeled
1 3/4 teaspoons fine sea or table salt, plus more as needed
1/2 cup pine nuts
6 small or 3 large shallots, thinly sliced
1 cup Arborio or other short-grain rice
1 tablespoon baharat (or use another aromatic spice blend, such as garam masala)
1 cup coarsely chopped dill (or use any combination of dill, cilantro and mint), plus more for serving
1 1/2 cups unsweetened pomegranate juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey or agave
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
Plain Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees and lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or large, shallow gratin dish.
  • Coarsely chop one of the yellow onions. Cut the remaining yellow and red onions from root to stem into ¾-inch-thick wedges and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, combine chopped yellow onion, 2 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook, partly covered, until onions are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain onions, saving the onion broth. (You should have about ¾ to 1 cup broth.) Transfer onions to a bowl, and set aside broth and onions.
  • In the same skillet (no need to clean it), melt 6 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add pine nuts and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in shallots and cook until tender, 4 to 6 minutes longer.
  • Add rice and cooked chopped onion. Stir in baharat, 1 teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons onion broth. Cook, stirring occasionally, until rice softens slightly and absorbs most of the liquid, about 15 minutes. If the mixture starts to stick to the pan, add another tablespoon or two of onion broth.
  • Stir in dill. Spoon rice mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer. Shingle onion wedges on top, alternating between red and yellow onions.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together pomegranate juice, olive oil, honey, pepper, remaining ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ cup onion broth. Pour over the onions and rice.
  • Cover pan with foil and bake for 50 minutes. Uncover pan and continue to bake until the rice is tender and onions are soft, glossy and sticky, about 35 to 45 minutes longer. Serve with yogurt, if you like, and more dill.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rice. A medium-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, is best for this dish. It will cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, crisp onions and apples, and use a good quality olive oil.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the rice, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the rice until it is tender but still has a little bit of a bite to it. You don't want to overcook the rice, or it will become mushy.
  • Season the rice to taste. Once the rice is cooked, season it with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Apple onion rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and savory flavor, apple onion rice is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
