I had a rough day at work the other day. Because of a snowstorm, I decided to bail out on my regular knitting night. Unfortunately, I didn’t have many groceries at home for dinner and I wasn’t in the mood to shop for any either. I was counting on going out to dinner that night, but I decide I will figure something out. When I get home, I find a baguette and some cold leftover white bean & garlic spread I made 2 days before.
I cut up the baguette into rounds. I look at the bean dip and it’s almost all gone. Oh dear. Boyfriend’s been snacking on it, which is ok. I had no idea he liked it that much. That actually makes me happy, but left with nothing to eat. I stare at the empty fridge and remember that there is half a Mayan Sweet onion in a tupperware container. YIPPEE! I have an idea!
I slice the onion very thinly and melt some butter in a small pot with a lid. I get the butter nice and hot and bubbly. After the butter stops foaming, I throw in the onions, give a stir and stick the lid. I set the timer on and the doorbell rings. It’s my neighbor returning boyfriend’s tools. We chit chat a little bit about my new car and the timer rings. I turn the heat off and finish talking with the neighbor. OOPS. The onion has started to burn just slightly. I stir things up and let it cook just a wee bit longer. I pull it off the stove, toss in some salt and pepper. They are perfectly caramelized.
The baguette rounds get toasty in the oven and away we go! I eat the last of the bean dip and tasty caramelized onions on crostini. Delicious.
ps- Another winter storm is coming so it’s Braised Chicken again this weekend!

Mmmm that sounds fantastic … though I’ll need to find a substitution for the bean dip.
