FRENCH FRIED ONIONS
A homemade alternative to the Durkee® brand. I use these for casserole recipes. I will never buy store-bought French fried onions again. This recipe makes a lot! I often just use one onion and about 1/2 cup of milk and 1 cup of flour with seasonings if I just want to use them for one dish. Warning: You may have to make what the original recipe calls for because they are so yummy and you won't be able to stop eating them!

Steps:
- Peel and slice potatoes about 1/8 inch thick or thinner.
- Slice onion thinly.
- In a large frying pan on medium-high heat, melt butter, add olive oil.
- Add sliced potatoes and onions, cover and fry for 10 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the potatoes and onions over so they do not break apart. If potatoes appear too dry, add some additional butter.
- Sprinkle with granulated garlic powder, dried dill weed, salt and pepper and continue to fry with cover removed for another 5 minutes or until potatoes begin to turn slightly brown; turning occasionally.
- Serve hot with your meal.
- Note: You may use 2 or 3 large garlic cloves (chopped small), instead of granulated garlic powder. Add to the potatoes after the first 10 minutes of cooking time.
LAMB PATTIES WITH FRIED ONIONS AND TAHINI-YOGURT SAUCE
Ground lamb makes a great alternative to a traditional burger, even when sprinkled with only salt and pepper or a little chopped parsley and garlic. These well-seasoned, simple-to-make patties are inspired by kofta, and are spiced with a fragrant mixture. You can season the meat up to a day ahead, which cuts down on kitchen time. Folded into warm pita bread, doused with tahini sauce and topped with fried onions, these burgers may not be standard cookout fare, but everyone loves them.

Steps:
- Put lamb in a medium bowl. Add 1 teaspoon salt, some black pepper, the cumin, coriander, oregano, cinnamon, scallions, cilantro, mint and garlic. Mix well with wet hands, kneading the mixture to distribute seasoning. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the seasoning penetrates. (Alternatively, season meat and refrigerate overnight.)
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, put tahini, lemon juice, garlic and cayenne. Stir well to dissolve the tahini. Then stir in yogurt, and mix well. Taste and add salt, to taste.
- Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high. When oil is wavy, add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are crisp and well browned, edging toward burned, about 10 to 12 minutes. Lower heat if browning too quickly. Add a little more oil, if pan looks dry. Season lightly with salt. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Light a charcoal grill for a medium hot bed of coals. (Alternatively, use a medium-hot gas or electric grill, a cast-iron pan or griddle, or a broiler.)
- With wet hands, knead lamb mixture once more, then form into 4 (8-ounce) oval patties (or 6 5-ounce patties), about 1-inch thick. Set aside until the fire is ready. Place the grill about 1 inch from the coals.
- Cook patties about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, 130 degrees. After flipping, cook until red juices appear on the top of the patties. For medium, 140 degrees, cook longer, about 5 minutes per side. In either case, let them rest on a warm plate for 5 minutes before serving, to keep in juices. They will continue cooking a bit as they rest.
- Top each burger with fried onions. Serve with tahini-yogurt sauce and warm pita, if desired.

SOUTHERN FRIED LIVER 'N' ONIONS
My husband and I have always loved liver and onions. My mom and my grandma told me how to make this years ago. My mom always steamed hers, but I prefer not to. I like it crispy and golden with the onions caramelized. My daughters never would touch liver, so when they lived at home, I had to break out the PB&J or scrambled eggs...

Steps:
- 1. Pour about 1/2" to 1" canola oil into a heavy skillet (I use a cast iron chicken fryer). Turn heat to high. When oil is hot, add onions and sprinkle with sugar. Reduce heat to medium high and cook, stirring frequently until onions have lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
- 2. Remove liver from package, wash. If pieces are large, cut in half. Mix flour, corn meal, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Roll liver pieces in flour mixture.
- 3. In the same skillet that onions were caramelized in, add liver pieces a few pieces at a time so as not to overcrowd your pan. Brown well on both sides using medium to medium high heat. Transfer to plate and repeat with next batch.
- 4. Once all liver is browned, return to pan and top with onions. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to serving platter and arrange caramelized onions on top. Serve hot with your favorite veggies (I like to serve with mashed potatoes, sawmill gravy and green beans).
