Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield about 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 stalks celery, peeled and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
2 to 3 sprigs thyme, plus 1 teaspoon fresh leaves
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 baguette, thinly sliced (about 4 ounces)
4 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter and oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add half the onions and celery, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Top with the remaining onions and celery, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper, the bay leaves and the thyme sprigs. Cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until all the liquid evaporates and the onions are very soft and golden brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (If the onions are soft but could be more golden, increase the heat slightly for a few minutes toward the end of cooking.)
  • Add the flour, and stir until completely absorbed, about 1 minute. Add the broth and wine, and simmer until almost completely evaporated, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and let cool for a few minutes. Remove the bay leaves and thyme stems. (The onions can be made, cooled and refrigerated up to 2 days ahead.)
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the baguette slices on a baking sheet until they're slightly toasted but not golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Let cool.
  • Shingle and slightly overlap half the bread slices in a 3-quart flameproof baking dish. Top with the onion mixture in 1 layer. Shingle, overlapping, with the remaining bread. Sprinkle the Gruyere over the top. Cover with foil, and bake until the onion mixture is hot and the cheese is melted, about 40 minutes. Remove the foil, switch the oven from bake to broil and broil until the top is golden in spots. Sprinkle the thyme leaves over the top. Serve hot.

Provided by Amanda Stanfield

Categories     Chicken Casserole

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 cup cottage cheese
½ cup sour cream
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons Creole seasoning
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
5 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
30 buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow onions are the most commonly used, but you can also use white or red onions. However, yellow onions have a stronger flavor and hold their shape better during cooking.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and caramelize.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the onions will steam instead of caramelizing.
  • Cook the onions over medium-low heat: This will allow them to caramelize slowly and evenly.
  • Stir the onions occasionally: This will help them caramelize evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Add a little liquid: A splash of water, broth, or wine can help the onions caramelize.
  • Be patient: Caramelizing onions takes time. Allow them to cook for at least 30 minutes, or until they are deep brown and slightly sweet.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onions are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They add a rich, sweet flavor to everything from soups and stews to pizzas and sandwiches. So next time you're looking for a way to add a little extra flavor to your meal, try caramelizing some onions. You won't be disappointed!
