CARAMELIZED ONIONS - OVEN BAKED - GREAT FOR OAMC



Caramelized Onions - Oven Baked - Great for OAMC image

I love caramelized onions but being a busy cook, I often end up with burnt onions if I'm distracted. My mother taught me this oven method and it's just the thing when I'm preparing my OAMC and need onions. I usually throw 1/4 - 1/2 cup in the zip lock bag when assembling anything that calls for ONIONS! Another nice thing about using the oven for these is how much can be prepared at one time. I chop my onions into big 1" pieces if using for soups, stews, or roasted meats. If using in a dish that will be frozen, cool the mixture before adding to other ingredients. You can also add a little cayenne pepper before baking if you want to spice them up. And if you're making burgers for the family, slicing them into 1/2" rings (and separating)before baking looks pretty cool.

Time 1h

Yield 3 cups, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large onions
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500°F.
  • Spread a large sheet of foil on top of a baking sheet leaving enough to pull around the onions (and seal) once they're baked.
  • Roughly chop and place the onions in a large bowl. Toss with just enough of the oil to lightly coat. Salt and pepper to taste. You can also use a little cayenne or red pepper flakes if you like the spice.
  • Put prepared onions on the foil covered tray and spread out as much as possible.
  • Bake 30 - 40 minutes Do not let onions burn.
  • Remove from oven and carefully seal the onions in the foil they were baked on.
  • Set foil packet aside for 5-10 minutes so onions can finish steaming.
  • If preparing to use as a sauce or condiment, substitute melted butter for the olive oil. I don't use butter if I'm making these to use in my freezer meals.

FLATBREAD WITH OVEN-DRIED FIGS, CARAMELIZED ONIONS, AND BLUE CHEESE



FLATBREAD WITH OVEN-DRIED FIGS, CARAMELIZED ONIONS, AND BLUE CHEESE image

Categories     Fruit

Yield 1 pizza

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 3⁄4 cups bread flour, divided
1 package dry yeast (about 2 1⁄4 teaspoons)
1 cup warm water (100°to 110°), divided
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 to 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
11⁄2 teaspoons salt, divided
Cooking spray
2 1⁄4 cups vertically sliced red onion
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
20 Oven-Dried Fig halves**
1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine 1⁄2 cup flour and yeast in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add 1⁄2 cup warm water; let stand 30 minutes. Add 2 cups flour, remaining 1⁄2 cup water, 1 tablespoon oil, rosemary, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt; stir until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes), and add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky). Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Press two fingers into dough. If an indentation remains, the dough has risen enough.) While dough rises, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sugar; cook 15 minutes or until deep golden brown, stirring mixture occasionally. Add remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon of salt, orange rind, and pepper. Cool mixture slightly. Preheat oven to 425°. Punch dough down; form into a ball. Place dough on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; let rest 5 minutes. Roll dough into a 14 x 12-inch rectangle (about 1⁄4 inch thick). Arrange onion mixture, walnuts, and Oven-Dried Fig halves evenly over dough, leaving a 1⁄2 inch border on all sides. Sprinkle with cheese, and gently press toppings into dough to adhere. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes or until flatbread is golden brown and cheese melts. ** To make Oven-Dried Figs, arrange figs in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 250 deg for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until almost dry but still soft.

Tips:

  • Use sweet onions for the best caramelization.
  • Slice the onions thinly and evenly so they caramelize evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to prevent the onions from burning.
  • Cook the onions over low heat and stir them frequently to prevent them from sticking.
  • Add a little water or broth to the pot to help the onions caramelize.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot with onions, or they won't caramelize properly.
  • Be patient! Caramelizing onions takes time, but it's worth it.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onions are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They can be added to pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, burgers, and more. They can also be used as a condiment or topping. No matter how you use them, caramelized onions are sure to add a delicious flavor to your food.
