Brown Braised Onions Recipes

Steps:

• Peel the onions, and trim roots, leaving enough to keep onion intact. Cut them lengthwise in halves or quarters, depending on their size.
• Place in a large skillet with butter, sugar, salt, pepper, and enough water to come halfway up sides of onions. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to medium-low, and cook, covered, until the onions are tender, about 20 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally until caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• When the butter and oil are bubbling in the skillet, add the onions andd saute over moderate heat for about 10 minutes, rolling the onions about so they will brown evenly. Be careful not to break the skins.
• Pour in the liquid and season to taste. Wrap the herbs in cheesecloth and add the herb bouquet.
• Cover and simmer slowly for 40 to 50 minutes until the liquid has evaporated. Remove herb bouquet and serve them as they are or in another recipe.

Steps:

• Place pressure cooker over medium-high heat and heat butter and oil. Add onions and sauté, shaking pot occasionally, until well-browned, about 10 minutes. Add stock, bring to a boil, close and seal pressure cooker lid and cook at high pressure (according to manufacturer's instructions) 2 minutes. 2. Remove pressure cooker from heat and quick-release pressure by running tepid water over lid and sides of pressure cooker (without allowing water into pressure valve). Carefully open lid, avoiding steam, and reserve onions and liquid.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a pan. Add the onions and cook until tender.
• Add 6 fl oz beer, sugar and salt. Cook approx 16/18 minutes until the beer is absorbed and the onions are starting to brown.
• Add the remaining beer and simmer gently.
• Serve warm to accompany burgers.

Steps:

• If you are using fresh pearl onions, they are easier to peel if you blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then run them under cold water to cool.
• If you are using frozen pearl onions, make sure they are defrosted and drained.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet and add the onions to the skillet.
• Saute over medium heat for about ten minutes, rolling the onions about so they brown as evenly as possible without breaking apart.
• Pour in the stock, add the herbs, and cover.
• Simmer over low heat for about 40 to 50 minutes until the onions are perfectly tender but retain their shape and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
• Remove the herbs, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
