Three Hundred and Twenty-Seven

Friday, May 6

Onion tart.

A ton of caramelized onions with a splash of balsamic vinegar, baked in pie dough and covered with gruyere. This dish was a phenomenon.

Pasta.

Roasted brussels sprouts, bacon, and caramelized onions, served over shells tossed in a garlic bechamel.

I'd just like to add that brussels sprouts are severely underrated.

Pizza.

Garlic & herb pizza dough, covered with herbed tomato sauce, cheddar cheese and french fried onions. This idea was so fantastic that I can't remember if it was Mom's or mine. I like to think we both thought of it at the same time. Otherwise it was just Mom.

Boeuf bourguignon.

Thick, beefy and full of carrots, onions, red wine and all sorts of other things, this dish drips class and deeply-staining sauce all over your shirt. Thank you, Ina Garten.

Pizza.

Artichokes, chicken, garlic, caramelized onions and mozzarella on garlic & herb dough, finished with fresh parsley and drizzled with hot sauce. One of, oh I don't know, the best pizzas ever.

Salad.

Avocado, grapefruit, caramelized onions, and Romaine lettuce tossed with a light olive oil vinaigrette. Refreshing and tasty.

Fajitas.

Sauteed chicken, bell peppers and onions with chili powder and cumin, in a flour tortilla, with sour cream, hot sauce and cilantro. One of my favorite meals ever, for sure.

Frittata.

Consisting of apple & gouda chicken sausage, caramelized onions, aged white cheddar and more eggs than I have fingers, this wasn't my favorite. Others seemed to like it (though they may have just been being polite), but it definitely needs some work, texture-wise.

Tacos.

Inspired from the previous week's taco truck trip. Spiced ground beef, pinto beans, onion, cilantro, pepper jack cheese, salsa, hot sauce, lime. Mexican home run.

Cajun bangers & mash.

That's the only name I could think of. I think it works. Sauteed bell peppers, onions, garlic and smoked sausage with cumin and chili powder, served on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes. I was really impressed with this one, as were the other members of my family. Sorry for making your dish have flavor, England.

Too far?

"Texas Blossom."

An entire deep-fried onion with ranch dipping sauce...this is basically all things that are good.

Garlic chicken pizza.

Garlic & Herb pizza dough (thanks, Trader Joe's) topped with a garlic bechamel, sauteed chicken, caramelized sweet onions and aged white cheddar.

A really choice combination.
