Tyrant Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Onions are fucking magic. Try whacking them in a soup and cook them less and less each time (feel free to blend the soup). That'll wean you onto them. It's mushrooms for me. I always try and like them, and I'll eat them if there on my plate (as I've never not finished a meal in living memory), but I just think they're cunts. I have no problem with onions in a blended soup (although I still prefer not to know they're there). Mushrooms were a food that I disliked but I really like them now. Love them sauteed or grilled. More or less in any form. Cheers for the vote of confidence, Al. But I'm a couple of years into my 30s now and still no real progress on the onion front! I love tomatoes in an Italian sauce or a pizza sauce. But not in their natural from or in ketchup. Gads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red onions caramelised in coriander and balsamic vinegar, immense. Roast them in chunks in the oven for 30 minutes with fennel bulbs, ground coriander seeds, balsamic and some olive oil, caramelise some sugar in a frying pan, dump the onion/fennel in the sugar, chuck in a ton of grana padano or parmesan cheese, stuck some puff pastry on top, give it another 20 minutes in the oven, and it will turn into this: Tarte tatin, mitherfecker.

Stir fry, Okonomiyaki, Bubble and squeak to name but a few dishes!

Elgindon Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Like cabbage too,I'm never sure what to do with it,because of the quantity.Polish golubka? is about the best recipe Ive found but theres usually enough cabbage for almost a weeks worth(and possibly another to deal with in the next delivery) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'd recommend Okonomiyaki if you haven't had it. Very easy to make and you put whatever you want into it, although you will need some additional sauces to make it. You do use plenty of it, I get your pain anyway!

donsdaft Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Thai curry night tonight. About 15 mins prep and that's it done. Off the beer though so a couple of pints of diluting orange and fizzy water will have to fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
