The CookingBites Recipe Challenge: Alliums

Cranberry-Ramsons Meringue

I sometimes like to eat Raw Garlic. Does that qualify as a recipe?

I also have been known to eat Raw Scallions, sometimes with a dip.

I've only eaten Raw Onion in salads.

I can't remember ever eating Raw Shallots and I've never had Leeks before. That will be a new experience.

I'm gonna make an onion bread tommorow and would like to submit the recipe. But I didn't measured anything, so what do I do? Stay healthy

Do what I do, guesstimate. Although, that is easier to do with cooking than it is with baking.

I have some ideas. I need to make something artsy, since MG is judging.

Yeah, what are the rest of us, chopped onions? Don't make me cry

Most of us just tend to guestimate (like caseydog posted) so I am sure you best guess will be just fine. I rarely measure things when I am preparing meals unless it's for one of the recipe challenges here. I find that quite "challenging" indeed!

Cook it again and this time record weights. Baking is very temperamental. It's not looked cooking where you can add 1½ times the amount and get away with it (unless it's salt!). Add 150% off the required flour and you'll get a totally different result to adding 100% or 110%.

Incidentally, it's why my husband is better at baking that I am on the whole. I go by sight, I freelance, I adapt and so on. He follows a recipe religiously and if it says 1½ tbsp salt, he'll add that much despite knowing that not only do I hate the taste of salt but that I was brought up on a near salt free diet...

Its fine by me (as judge of the current challenge) if you submit the recipe with your approximate amounts. If you only just made the dough then I expect you can remember the approximate measures. After all, bread dough is basically only a few ingredients.

Sorry, I seem to have gone on a mental stay away vacay recently - but I am indeed back and looking forward to working with alliums.

I bought two bulbs of pink garlic and a lot of onions, we'll see if I get some inspiration this week.

Scottish Cock-a-Leekie Soup.

Yummers. (Just a note, I eat ALL soups at home with the Chinese spoons. Much more efficient than the European style, to my mind.)

Me too. Lovely bowl & spoon you have, I have almost exactly the same type here.
