Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound polish Kielbasa, sliced into 1/4 inch circles
1 (12-ounce) jar sauerkraut
1 large sweet onion, sliced in thin rounds
4 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons spicy jalapeno jelly

Next, pile on some kielbasa rounds (about 8 Don't Skimp!) then the onion/sauerkraut mixture and then top with a good slice of Gruyere Cheese. Place the pan under the broiler - along with the top of the rolls (facing inside up) to slightly crisp its edges Once cheese has melted, remove from the oven. PAY ATTENTION WHEN IN BROILER. Spread some more mustard/jelly condiment on the inside top of the roll and close the sandwich.

Linguine With Melted Onions and Cream image

This surprisingly elegant pasta dish is also seriously easy. All you need are pantry ingredients and some patience for slowly cooking down the onions until they turn into a fragrant purée. Add a squeeze of tomato paste and a slosh of heavy cream, taste and done. This recipe comes from a book by two excellent home cooks: "The Good Food: A Cookbook of Soups, Pastas and Stews" by Julie Strand and Daniel Halpern, first published in 1985 and reissued in 2018.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 large onions, very thinly sliced (you can do this in the food processor)
Salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons tomato paste, more to taste
Ground black pepper
1 pound linguine or other long, thin pasta
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, more for serving
Finely minced parsley, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a wide skillet with a lid, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. When melted, add the onions in batches, stirring to coat. Reduce the heat to very low, cover and cook, stirring often, until very soft and translucent, about 30 minutes. The onions may turn light gold, but they should not brown.
  • Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, cover and continue cooking until onions are golden and melting into a purée, 30 to 60 minutes more depending on the thickness of the onions.
  • In a microwave, heat the cream until warm, add the tomato paste, and stir until dissolved.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water with 1 tablespoon salt to a boil over high heat for the pasta.
  • When the onions are cooked, stir the cream mixture into the skillet along with a dozen grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion mixture is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until tender, then drain and return to the pot. Immediately add the onion mixture and Parmesan cheese and toss together. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper; add a little more tomato paste if the mixture needs sweetness or acidity.
  • Serve immediately, sprinkling each serving lightly with parsley, if you'd like. Pass more cheese at the table.

Beef Roast With Melted Tomatoes and Onions image

"I would rather be the kosher Rachael Ray than the kosher Martha Stewart," Susie Fishbein told our colleague Julia Moskin in 2008, after the release of one of Mrs. Fishbein's popular "Kosher by Design" cookbooks. "My books speak to harried everyday cooks like me." This fabulous roast of beef with melted tomatoes and onions serves as an excellent example of her appeal - and the leftovers make incredible sandwiches the next day.

Tips:

  • Use Sweet Onions: Vidalia or Walla Walla onions are best for caramelizing, as they have a naturally high sugar content that helps them brown and sweeten.
  • Slice Onions Thinly: Thinly sliced onions will caramelize more evenly and quickly.
  • Cook Onions Slowly: Caramelized onions should be cooked low and slow over medium-low heat. This will allow them to develop their sweetness without burning.
  • Stir Frequently: Stirring the onions frequently will help them caramelize evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Deglaze the Pan: If the onions start to stick to the pan, deglaze it with a little bit of water or white wine. This will help to loosen the onions and prevent them from burning.
  • Season to Taste: Once the onions are caramelized, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onions are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are perfect for adding a sweet and savory flavor to soups, stews, pizzas, burgers, and sandwiches. With a little time and patience, you can easily make caramelized onions at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your onions caramelize perfectly.
