Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 red onions, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 pound figs, stems trimmed, cut into quarters
1/4 cup raw sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Extra-virgin olive oil
8 egg whites (2 whites per sandwich)
1 teaspoon piment d'espelette
Freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon aged balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon pure maple syrup
4 cups baby arugula
1 cup fresh blueberries
8 slices flaxseed or whole-wheat bread (1/2-inch thick)

Steps:

  • For the caramelized onions: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and onions, separating them, and sprinkle with the salt. Saute for 10 minutes, then turn down the heat to medium-low and cook until the onions are deep amber in color, another 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, for the fig jam: Combine 1/4 cup water, the figs, sugar and lemon zest in a saucepan and simmer over low heat until thick, 45 to 60 minutes. For the eggs: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and use a paper towel to grease the pan and remove the excess oil. Crack 2 egg whites into a bowl and beat with a whisk. Pour the whites into the skillet and add 1/4 teaspoon piment d'espelette and some black pepper. Cook until opaque, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs to make 3 more omelets.
  • For the salad: Combine the olive oil, vinegar and maple syrup in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Seal the jar and shake vigorously to blend. Toss the arugula and blueberries with the dressing. Toast the bread. Spread 1 tablespoon jam on each of 4 slices of toast and add 1 tablespoon caramelized onions. Top with the egg whites and cover with the remaining slices of toast. Serve with the salad.

CURRIED EGG SALAD WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Curried Egg Salad With Caramelized Onions image

This dish was part of a menu that Monica Bhide had where she had eighteen guests, eight different diets,- and one cook to try and please them all. Monica's newest cookbook is Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen (Simon & Schuster, 2009) ." I took it as a challenge! I like to throw dinner parties and I pride myself on creating memorable meals.I wrote cookbooks, damn it. So what if the Jack Spratt nursery rhyme was coming to life in my house.(Remember Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean.)" So it was with this fervor that she had a great party even though she swore that next time she was ordering pizza! AARP Magazine, May & June, 2009 edition. I tweaked it a bit, personal preference.

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 lge onions, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
3/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
8 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
1/3 red onion, diced (optional)
3/4 medium red bell peppers (we used both) or 3/4 medium orange bell pepper, seeded and finely diced (we used both)
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons minced cilantro or 3 tablespoons flat leaf parsley
1 small green serrano chili, seeded and minced
1 -2 teaspoon hot Madras curry powder (use less, we used much less)
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
4 cups spinach leaves, loosely packed

Steps:

  • Caramelize the onion: heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced onion and salt and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Add the sugar and black pepper and cook until the onion is golden brown.
  • Divide the onions.
  • Set aside until the rest of the salad is ready.
  • In a large bowl, mash the boiled eggs with a fork.
  • Add 1/2 the caramelized onions diced and bell pepper and mix well.
  • (Optional) add the 1/3 diced onion.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, cilantro or parsley, chili, curry powder, and salt to taste.
  • Mix well.
  • Add the mustard and mix well until combined.
  • Add the dressing to the eggs and mix.
  • Divide the spinach leaves among 8 plates.
  • Heap the egg salad evenly onto each plate.
  • Top with the caramelized onions and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a Sweet Onion: Sweet onions, like Vidalia or Walla Walla, caramelize beautifully and provide a sweeter flavor to your salad.
  • Caramelize the Onions Slowly: Take your time and caramelize the onions slowly over medium-low heat. This will ensure they develop a deep golden brown color and a rich, sweet flavor.
  • Use High-Quality Eggs: The fresher the eggs, the better your salad will taste. Look for eggs that are organic, free-range, or pasture-raised for the best flavor.
  • Use Homemade Mayonnaise: Homemade mayonnaise is easy to make and tastes much better than store-bought. Plus, you can control the ingredients and make it to your liking.
  • Season the Salad Well: Don't be afraid to season your salad generously. Salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice will help to bring out the flavors of the onion, eggs, and mayonnaise.
  • Add Some Crunch: For a bit of extra crunch, add some chopped celery, red onion, or nuts to your salad.
  • Serve Immediately: Egg salad is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onion and egg salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its sweet and savory flavors, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
