Onion boy arrives


I like the rim Idea, Kelly.

Onions. First you boil them till they are almost done, Then you make a white sauce-- butter and flour then add 1/2 and 1/2 with some mysterious ingredients. I like dill, curry and some other mysterious spices. I melt some cheeses into the mix too.

Then put the onions in a pan for the oven and pour the sauce over it . Sprinkle over Romano or Parmesan cheese and bake for a while longer.

The white sauce should start with melted butter then blend with the flour and spices and then add half and half.

There are no set measurements..

I made some a few weeks ago for a pot luck. Works with carrots and other veggies too.

Here is a gneric recipe and some links to otheres.

Cut this recipe in half for a smaller family dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 3 pounds small white onions, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
