alcarm77 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 My husband has brought home two big bags of onions from a camping trip with the Scouts. I've already made caramelised onions, put some in the fridge and some in the freezer. I'm looking for suggestions involving onions as one of the main ingredients. If the recipes are freezable, so much the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennR Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Bistek Tagalog (Filipino beef steak). Recipe was from before they legalized potatoes, so you can use potatoes now. Maybe also liver and onions? (I hate liver, so I don't have a recipe to share.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennR Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Oh, and also NomNom's slow cooker chicken with gravy. Bonus: you get a lot of leftover gravy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooh, yes, I second this one - this is/was very, very good....... Sadly it's off my list now due to a FODMAP intolerance, and well... the onions.... Here's a chicken Balti(ish) Recipe I used to make in the past: 1 kilo of chicken breast in bite sized chunks. 4-5 medium onions chopped small 5 cloves of garlic grated Half an inch piece of ginger grated One tin of chopped tomatoes Half a level dessertspoon of chili powder Half a level dessertspoon of salt, or to taste. Half a dessertspoon of turmeric powder One dessertspoon of coriander powder, the same of cumin powder. Handful of cumin seeds. 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil. Handful of fresh coriander chopped 2 green chilies -optional – deseed if desired. Bone broth/stock/water In a large deep based pot/saucepan with lid fry the onions in oil until golden. Add garlic and fry for a minute. Add ginger and fry for a minute or so. Rub the cumin seeds between your palms and blow off the husks gently (do it over the sink) Add to oil and fry for a minute or so. Add tomato and do same. Add spices/salt, add a couple of cups of /bone broth/stock/water, mix. Reduce heat, cover with lid and allow to simmer and reduce down. After twenty mins or so increase heat, reduce/dry out all remaining liquid whilst stirring to make the mixture resemble a puree/masala. When you see the liquid has dried and the curry is starting to release the oil add the chicken. Stir in on a medium to high heat for 5 mins, then reduce heat, add half a cup of broth/water, cover and allow to cook. When the chicken is cooked, add the coriander, stir and cover for a couple of mins then serve – enjoy! Re the liver & onions I never used a recipe but used to sear thinly sliced liver briefly at a high temp on both sides, & then I'd 'fry off a bunch of onions in the oil & juices, then I'd 'de-glaze' the pan with a little bone broth and some ACV then thicken up with some arrowroot & use as a kind of sauce/gravy for the root mash I'd eat with the liver & onions.

alcarm77 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Thanks both, it all looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcarm77 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 I used the slow cooker chicken recipe, but with ox tail as we had some of that to use up. It was delicious! Although I asked my husband to blend the gravy, and he blended all the meat as well, so it turned into a very thick soup instead of meat and gravy.

Crastney Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I believe that Dopiaza is an south asian curry which translates as 'double onion'. which would be ideal in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
