Harvested small Onions ideas

jezko

Have loads of really small Onions Red (Think Red Baron) White and Brown skined Onions.

Long story short they were growing happy in one spot and then had to be moved a month after planting. and never really recovered.

Anyone with interesting recipes ideas, love boiled onions but not every other day. and can't stand pickle.

Caramelize, the freeze - very versatile for steaks, pizzas, salads, adding to gravies etc

Onion marmalade. I make this a LOT. Handy for making last minute cheese and onion tarts.. Just pop some on a square of frozen puff pastry, with a slice of cheese (goat, mozz, blue, whatever) on top, and then in the oven for fab lunch with a salad. Nomnom.

It's also nice as a condiment, on burgers, with pate or cheeses, in a sandwich!


Throw onions in as a platform for a roast meat. They get all browned and yummy, whiz them up into your gravy.

my small onions (and there are a lot this year as stalks broke in the wind both red and white) are dried as normal, left on the polytunnel bench till just before first frost, then stored in the kitchen in a turnip bag, are then chopped as needed (raw) and put into my cheese/toasted cheese sandwiches.

I use the river cottage recipe.

Just top and tail the baby onions, they break down in cooking. I chuck in whatever I have, shallots, garlic, all sizes onions. The recipe says 4 large onions, That's just over a kilo of mixed onions for me.

Sterilise the jar with boiling water like normal jam if you are storing.
