I have an entire bag of onions
Why, I don't know. I use onions a lot, but um, not that many. I don't like onion soup. Is there another entree that would allow me to use a lot of them in one fell swoop? Or maybe an onion soup that doesn't have great big strands of onions in it?

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
make a pot roast and put a couple of onions in the bottom.
But you can store them in cool dark closet in pantyhose for months at a time without them sprouting. Just knot the hose between each onion and cut off an onion as needed |

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
Pot roast, as CTL suggested is great, or a stir fry could use a lot. Also, you can chop and freeze them.

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
What she said. Any onion or pepper that makes its way into our house gets chopped up and frozen asap. Makes things much easier later on--omlettes are a breeze to put together now.

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
I have a peanut butter chicken recipe that uses 3-4 onions. I'll type it if you want it.

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
This recipe was recommended here earlier in the week. I haven't tried it, but it meets your criteria.

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
I always pickle a few for the summer (great on burgers, sausages and hot dogs, as well as on salads).
For a quart jar (one or two onions) I bring a cup of vinegar (red or white wine, cider or even rice) a pinch of salt and a cup of sugar to a boil to dissolve the sugar. I pack the halved and thinly sliced onions into the jar (sometimes with some peppercorns, a bay leaf or other spices) and pour over the hot liquid. It's great after a few days in the fridge and lasts indefinitely.

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
My chicken curry uses three, if I recall. Stews are great because the onions cook down and dissolve into the broth. Onions store for a long time, so I wouldn't make any special effort to use them up all at once. I second (third, whatev ) the chopping and freezing idea. I'm going to do that with some of my onion crop in the fall (100 seedlings planted). I can't imagine not buying onions by the (Costco-sized) bag. They're in at least half of everything I cook, in some way or another.

There's just me and pill, and pill eats cheese a bag would probably last me 6-9 months unless I"m cooking for someone else

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
Are they sweet onions, like Vadalia or Walla Walla? If so, you can make an onion salad (I'll scrounge up the recipe in a minute). If not, how about creamed onions?

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
I can go through a whole onion or two every single day, all by myself. I am such a sucker for sauteed onions in particular. I pile them high on everything! Scrambled eggs, burgers, spaghetti. I've even made sandwiches with no more ingredients than sauteed onions and bread.
They're a fantastic extender for just about every meal, too. I learned to mince them fine so that they don't bother the children, and I really don't like long strings of boiled onions, either. |

Re: I have an entire bag of onions
Ok, then I won't post my onion salad deal. Rabbit has an awesome idea, though. You could caramelize a bunch of them & use them as garnish on everything.
Man, now I'm wanting some caramelized onions on steak or something... |
