CARAMELIZED ONION SKILLET CORN BREAD



Caramelized Onion Skillet Corn Bread image

As part of GMA's $15 Dinner Dare series, each day an anchor unveiled a list of secret ingredients, then a chef had to prepare a tempting family meal live on the air with the newly unveiled ingredients. Emeril Lagasse was the second chef to take on the challenge. His list of surprise ingredients included only vegetables: black beans, pinto beans and spinach, so he contrived this side dish from the GMA pantry. I've never known anyone who could instantly caramelize onions, so this method was a huge surprise. Now, if you'd rather be more traditional, you can always caramelize onions (cut in 1/2 inch pieces) in the skillet over medium heat using a couple of tablespoons of butter and a little oil, sauteing until they turn brown and caramelize, then melt the remaining butter in the skillet (add sugar here if you like sweet cornbread) and continue with the recipe as written. Prep time includes time to heat the skillet.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp hold their shape well when cooked and provide a nice contrast to the sweet caramel. Avoid soft, mealy apples like Red Delicious, as they tend to break down and become mushy.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly: This will help them develop a deep, rich flavor. Be patient and cook the onions over medium-low heat until they are soft and golden brown.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the apples and onions, make sure to give them plenty of room to spread out so that they can caramelize evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the apples and onions will steam instead of caramelize.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the apples and onions from burning.
  • Season to taste: Once the apples and onions are caramelized, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Conclusion:

This cornbread with caramelized apples and onions is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it as a side dish or as a main course with a simple salad.
