CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND EGGS

Steps:

• 1. Melt the butter in a medium pan and slowly sauté the onions over very low heat.

• 3. Cook until the onions are completely softened and caramelized. The best way to caramelize onions in a pan; Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the onions begin to turn a brownish color, turn heat to low and cook the onions for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once they are a dark, deep brown and sticky with caramelization, they're done!
• 4. Make 4 wells among the onions.
• 5. Break an egg into each well, and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

CARAMELIZED ONIONS WITH EGGS

Steps:

• 1. Quarter the onions and slice paper-thin. Heat butter in a heavy skillet and add the onions. Sprinkle with salt and cook over very low heat, stirring occasionally, for at least 40 or 50 minutes, until the onions turn reddish brown and become slightly crispy. Take care not to burn them. As onions cook and become dry, sprinkle in some water.
• 2. When onions are caramelized, sprinkle with vinegar, spices, pepper, and sugar, and mix thoroughly.
• 3. Make 4 depressions in the onions and break an egg into each. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, cover, and cook gently until the eggs are covered with a thin transparent film.
• 4. Serve immediately.

SPICED LENTIL AND CARAMELIZED ONION BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 350°F.
• In a medium, oven-safe pan, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 large, thinly sliced onion and ½ tsp. Kosher salt. Cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• Add ½ tsp. turmeric, 1 tsp. cumin, ¼ tsp. Aleppo pepper (or ⅛ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes), and 2 Tbsp. tomato paste. Cook and stir constantly until the onions are coated and the tomato paste has darkened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add ⅓ cup water; stir and scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom of the pan for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the liquid looks thickened and saucy. Add one 14-oz. can of lentil soup; cook, stirring to combine, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and season with salt, pepper, and more Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes to taste.
• Using a spoon, create 3 wells in the lentil mixture. Carefully crack 1 egg into each well. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the whites of the eggs are just set, 11 to 13 minutes.
• While the eggs bake, in a small pot or butter warmer, heat 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, ghee, or olive oil over medium heat. Add ½ tsp. cumin seeds; swirl the pan until the seeds start to sizzle and brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
• Drizzle the finished eggs with the butter mixture, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with parsley before serving.

R-RATED ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel your onions and cut them in half through their stem ends-longways, if you will. Slice them thinly with the grain, following the line from root to stem rather than cutting the onion across its belly. This is actually important because slicing it the other way makes the path to silky onions a longer one.
• Once your onions are sliced, heat your skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil, then the onions and the salt. Let the onions sizzle for a couple minutes. Stir with a wooden spoon or a heatproof spatula and watch as they wilt for about 3 more minutes. At this point, reduce the heat to medium low. Put a lid on and step away for a few minutes. Give the onions a stir every now and then. You don't have to stand over it like risotto, but don't go for a walk around the block either. Caramelized bits will accumulate at the bottom and sides of the pan, and that's good. Just scrape them up and stir them in. A little color building as you go is okay, but don't rush to brown them. The point is to cook the onions gently, coaxing them through stages of raw, wilted, sweaty, soft, light brown, and finally deeply caramelized
• About 45 minutes in, remove the lid for the last time. They should be a light caramel color. Now, with the lid off, you will need to watch more closely and stir more frequently. At some point you may find that despite your best efforts some of the caramelized bits, verging on burnt, cling to the pan and threaten over all onion ruin. Do not fret! Just add a ½ cup or so of water and use its energy to help scrape up the stubborn but tasty film. Let the water cook out of course. When you're smiling over a soft, creamy, fragrant pile of mahogany onions, you're done.
• Note: R-Rated Onions will keep in the fridge for a week and in the freezer for 3 months.

DEVILED EGGS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat a medium skilllet over low heat. When hot, add the butter and oil. When the butter has melted, add the onions. Sprinkle with the sugar. Cook over low heat for 30 minutes or more, stirring occasionally, until dark and caramelized. Don't stir too much or they won't brown, but watch so they don't burn or stick to the pan. Once the onions are caramelized, remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
• Hard-cook the eggs; once they're cool, peel them. Cut each egg in half; place the yolks in a mixing bowl, and the whites on a serving platter.
• Prepare the filling. With a fork, mash the yolks. Add the onions and about 1/2 cup of yogurt; stir to combine. Stir in more yogurt (up to 1 cup total) until the mixture is a creamy consistency. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Fill the eggs. I find the easiest way to do this is with a ziptop bag. Open the bag and fold the top over the outside. Scrape the filling into the bag, pushing the filling well into a bottom corner of the bag. Close the bag, making sure to get out as much air as you can. Cut a small hole in the bottom corner and gently squeeze the filling into each egg white. Top each appetizer with a sprinkle of chopped chives. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• TIPS: Everyone has their own methods of cooking and peeling eggs. I follow the steps on this site: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Eggs/BoiledEggs.htm It has all the info from the Incredible Edible Egg site, but all in one place. * Most people cut the eggs in half lengthwise. For a different presentation, cut them crosswise, then cut a tiny sliver off the bottom of each piece so it will sit without wobbling. (If a piece seems very shallow, you can hollow it out a bit more with a melon baller.) This is great if you don't have a serving platter specifically for deviled eggs. * I use a fork to make the filling because I like texture, and I want the little onion bits to show. If you prefer a perfectly smooth consistency, you can use a food processor. * If you're bringing the eggs somewhere, you can prepare the filling in advance, store it in the ziptop bag, then fill the eggs at the location. * Also, you can hard-cook the eggs ahead of time; hard-cooked eggs will keep in the fridge for several days.
• SUBSTITUTIONS: I use nonfat plain yogurt in an effort to use less fat, and Greek style because it's thicker. You could use mayonnaise, sour cream, or a combination. * The chives add a little flavor zing, and indicate that it's an onion-flavored dish. The measurement is approximate; I just put a pinch on each egg. Instead of chives you could use sliced green onion (scallion), and if you want to get fancy you could make green onion flowers.
