Vidalia Onions

TheLazyC · May 2011

The local Ruritan Club was selling 10lb bags of Vidalia onions as a fund raiser so I bought a bag.

What can I do with them? Any killer recipes out there?

I tried to find the pic but I just have to many unfiled pics in photo bucket

but I 1/4 and toss into a cast iron skillet or dutch oven or what ever you have, a bouillon cube or about a cup of beef broth and a little butter and red wine, dash of Worcestershire sauce. let simmer to soften and caramelize. I do not start with a lot of liquid. serve over steaks or just as a vegi. kind of like a french onion soup with out the soup LOL we do this with the big fl sweets we get down there.
or just put in a foil pouch and add a little beef broth and butter and close up and cook till tender

A stick of butter and skim milk? Interesting combination there.

I just cut up the onions, add some garlic, salt, pepper, butter, and then roast. You can stir them or not, depending on how charred/caramelized you like the tips and the bottom. Terrific side dish.

What "CAN'T" you do with them. They are incredibly versatile. Any extra you have, you can carmelize and freeze in baggies for future use in chili, sauces, etc.

Note: There was an announcement yesterday that this years crop of VO's will greatly exceed demand, resulting in the lowest pricing in years. Bad news for South Georgia Farmers, good news for everyone else.

Those look great! What type of pan is that, it almost looks like a wok. Nice photo.Randy

Well, I've heard that they are great, but how do you suppose they compare with Walla Walla Sweets? Any other westerners out there?

:unsure:

Thanks for the recipe, Richard. BTW can that be frozen? With the short Vidalia season it sure would be nice to enjoy this year around.

Richard Fl · May 2011

I freeze in pint & quart containers from the chinese restaurants and love it. Make my own croutons and like good cheeses for the top.

It's a paella pan.

Have you considered bloomin' onions? There are a zillion recipes/methods out there. One of these days, I'll try one.

Thanks - I'll be knocking out a few batches! I love soup and I package them in pint FoodSaver bags, freeze them with a clip and then seal after frozen. I keep Ham & Bean soup, Chili, and Cheese soups on hand year around. It's so handy to grab a bag, thaw and have a quick and easy tasty lunch with no prep to speak of.

LOVE Vidalia Onion Casserole. Only change we make is to layer sliced smoked sausage into casserole with the onions. This would be GREAT cooked on the BGE!!!
