Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 red onions, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 pound figs, stems trimmed, cut into quarters
1/4 cup raw sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Extra-virgin olive oil
8 egg whites (2 whites per sandwich)
1 teaspoon piment d'espelette
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon aged balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon pure maple syrup
4 cups baby arugula
1 cup fresh blueberries
8 slices flaxseed or whole-wheat bread (1/2-inch thick)

Steps:

  • For the caramelized onions: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and onions, separating them, and sprinkle with the salt. Saute for 10 minutes, then turn down the heat to medium-low and cook until the onions are deep amber in color, another 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, for the fig jam: Combine 1/4 cup water, the figs, sugar and lemon zest in a saucepan and simmer over low heat until thick, 45 to 60 minutes. For the eggs: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and use a paper towel to grease the pan and remove the excess oil. Crack 2 egg whites into a bowl and beat with a whisk. Pour the whites into the skillet and add 1/4 teaspoon piment d'espelette and some black pepper. Cook until opaque, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs to make 3 more omelets.
  • For the salad: Combine the olive oil, vinegar and maple syrup in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Seal the jar and shake vigorously to blend. Toss the arugula and blueberries with the dressing. Toast the bread. Spread 1 tablespoon jam on each of 4 slices of toast and add 1 tablespoon caramelized onions. Top with the egg whites and cover with the remaining slices of toast. Serve with the salad.

CARAMELIZED ONION POTATO SALAD



Caramelized Onion Potato Salad image

This is the recipe I make on a day where a little extra time isn't an issue and I'm craving comfort food. The tarragon vinegar and caramelized onions in this salad will leave you smacking your lips. You can serve this potato salad immediately, but it will taste much better after being refrigerated for several hours. Double or triple the recipe if you are making it for a large event. -Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia

Caramelized Onion and Bacon Potato Salad image

I was looking for a lower-calorie way to make my husband's favorite summer side dish, as my traditional potato salad was laden with eggs and mayo! The tzatziki dip as dressing certainly did the trick! The tarragon in the onions gives that hint of 'what is that?' to this recipe! Can be served warm or chilled.

CURRIED EGG SALAD WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Curried Egg Salad With Caramelized Onions image

This dish was part of a menu that Monica Bhide had where she had eighteen guests, eight different diets,- and one cook to try and please them all. Monica's newest cookbook is Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen (Simon & Schuster, 2009) ." I took it as a challenge! I like to throw dinner parties and I pride myself on creating memorable meals.I wrote cookbooks, damn it. So what if the Jack Spratt nursery rhyme was coming to life in my house.(Remember Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean.)" So it was with this fervor that she had a great party even though she swore that next time she was ordering pizza! AARP Magazine, May & June, 2009 edition. I tweaked it a bit, personal preference.

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 lge onions, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
3/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
8 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
1/3 red onion, diced (optional)
3/4 medium red bell peppers (we used both) or 3/4 medium orange bell pepper, seeded and finely diced (we used both)
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons minced cilantro or 3 tablespoons flat leaf parsley
1 small green serrano chili, seeded and minced
1 -2 teaspoon hot Madras curry powder (use less, we used much less)
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
4 cups spinach leaves, loosely packed

Steps:

  • Caramelize the onion: heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced onion and salt and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Add the sugar and black pepper and cook until the onion is golden brown.
  • Divide the onions.
  • Set aside until the rest of the salad is ready.
  • In a large bowl, mash the boiled eggs with a fork.
  • Add 1/2 the caramelized onions diced and bell pepper and mix well.
  • (Optional) add the 1/3 diced onion.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, cilantro or parsley, chili, curry powder, and salt to taste.
  • Mix well.
  • Add the mustard and mix well until combined.
  • Add the dressing to the eggs and mix.
  • Divide the spinach leaves among 8 plates.
  • Heap the egg salad evenly onto each plate.
  • Top with the caramelized onions and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions are best for caramelizing, as they have a higher sugar content. Red onions can also be used, but they will take longer to caramelize and will have a slightly different flavor.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them caramelize evenly and quickly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the onions from burning.
  • Cook the onions over low heat: This will allow them to caramelize slowly and develop a deep, rich flavor.
  • Stir the onions frequently: This will help to prevent them from burning and will also help them to caramelize evenly.
  • Add a little bit of liquid: This will help to prevent the onions from drying out and will also help them to caramelize more quickly. Water, white wine, or broth can all be used.
  • Season the onions to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Use caramelized onions in a variety of dishes: They can be added to sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, pasta dishes, and more.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onions are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. So next time you are looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your meal, try using caramelized onions. You won't be disappointed!
