Frank and I spent a night in Walla Walla, WA, this week on our way home from Montana. It's onion harvest time, and I couldn't resist. Now I have two big bags, 10 pounds, of Walla Walla sweets. I know the onions don't keep all that well, so I don't know what I was thinking.

Does anyone have any favorite onion recipes?

Chris - I just made a sweet onion pie from the Lady & Son's Cookbook.
See photo on my blog - link above.

Recipe:

Deep dish 9" pie crust
3c.sliced Vidalia onion (sweet)
3 tbs. butter
1/2 c. milk
1&1/2c. sour cream
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beat
3 tbs. flour
crumbled bacon
Oven 325
Saute onion in butter, spoon into crust
Mix milk, sour cream, eggs, flour & salt
Pour over onion, top with crumbled bacon
Bake 30mins.......looks and tastes like a quiche.

Next time: I'd use "light" ingredients, as I found it very rich.

One of my favorite things to do with WW onions is to caramelize them. I enjoy caramelized WW onions on pizza with blue cheese. Yummm.

or chevre. Yum! I remember reading somewhere that carmelized onions freeze well. I think maybe I'll carmelize a BIG bunch and see how it works.

And thanks, chiaro, that pie sounds lovely too!

Didn't you buy onions while you were there, Marta?
