Onions as a main or side dish

[CraigC]

Not available here. Are they very different?

They are very sweet. Some folks peel them and eat them raw, like you would an apple. They are wider and flatter than yellow or brown onions. Sort of like a giant chipollini.

One of the ones we used to make when I could eat dairy was half a large sweet onion topped with a couple of slices of Camembert or brie cooked inside a puff pastry casing. I can't remember it exactly but I think it came from a BBC vegetarian magazine back in the 90's. It was delicious. I'll have to see if I can recreate it somehow with melting creamy vegan cheese .I have a vegan brie recipe . I just wish I could remember all of the ingredients .

Are the vegetables stewed, or are they served raw as a salad?

That doesn't sound like a Scottish dish. Are you from another part of the world originally?

I asked mom when she was sitting next to me. She said let the onions and tomatoes fully cooked. And add the boiled corns later.

Yes dear, my mother is from India and father is from scotland.

Ah! Does this mean you have some Indian recipes you could treat us to? We have a lot of Indian food lovers here.

Nothing from me in this thread, I love onions but they do not love me in return...

Yeah, sure why not.

We occasionally ate (and drank) at an Irish bar in Kuala Lumpur called "Delaneys" where the dish of choice tended to be Irish Stew (lamb) or Imposter's Stew (beef). A favourite accompaniment was "Spuds and Onions" which consisted of sliced potatoes and sliced white onions "roasted" in the oven. I have tried to emulate it but without much luck. I may have another go.

I stumbled across a variation of this roasted potato idea one day when I was cooking for a few vegetarian friends. I took pre-cooked potatoes, green onions, corn and almond milk with a touch of spicy mustard. Wrapped them in parchment paper and cooked it en Papillote style. It was the "hit" of the meal.
