If you spotted ten-pound bags of onions for under two bucks at local grocery stores last week, you’re not alone. Contributor and chef Trevor Schwandt did too, and turned the sale into an excuse to get the kitchen smelling like fall.
In this edition of Community Kitchen, he shows how to turn that humble bag into caramelized gold: rich, freezer-ready onions you can spoon over pork chops, stir into soup, or spread onto sandwiches all season long.
Community Kitchen: French Onion Everything for Fall
Caramelizing a big bag of onions gives them more flavour, and you can get a lot of mileage out of them, too. One pot gives you a week’s worth of choices: spoon them over pork chops with grated Emmental (as we had this week), serve on a roast beef sandwich, or turn them into the classic French onion soup.
