Caramelized Onions With Eggs image

This modest dish was customarily eaten by the Ottoman sultans on the fifteenth day of Ramadan. If the sultans approved of the way in which these had been prepared they would often appoint the cook head of the royal pantry. From Classical Turkish Cooking by Ayla Algar.

Categories     Eggs

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large red onions
4 Tbsp butter, unsalted
1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/8 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp sugar
4 eggs
water
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Quarter the onions and slice paper-thin. Heat butter in a heavy skillet and add the onions. Sprinkle with salt and cook over very low heat, stirring occasionally, for at least 40 or 50 minutes, until the onions turn reddish brown and become slightly crispy. Take care not to burn them. As onions cook and become dry, sprinkle in some water.
  • 2. When onions are caramelized, sprinkle with vinegar, spices, pepper, and sugar, and mix thoroughly.
  • 3. Make 4 depressions in the onions and break an egg into each. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, cover, and cook gently until the eggs are covered with a thin transparent film.
  • 4. Serve immediately.

This dish was just okay. The caramelized onions were a bit bland and the eggs were overcooked. I wouldn't make this again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my caramelized onions turned out burnt. The eggs were still good, but the onions were inedible. I'll have to try this recipe again.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The caramelized onions were very flavorful and the eggs were cooked perfectly. I think I would try it again with a different type of onion.

I love caramelized onions, and this dish did not disappoint! The onions were perfectly caramelized and the eggs were cooked perfectly. I served it with some crusty bread and it was a hit!
