Frying dried onions
I am a bit embarassed and tentative in posting about this but what the
heck.
So I am making my HillyBilly spagetti sauce. Which is usually
carmelized onions (I cheat and add a bit of brown sugar), minced
garlic from a jar, dried oregano or basil (depending on which I feel
like - isn't one of these a sin?) and then when all that is done, I
dump in a can of tomato sauce. Salsa sometimes. See I told you.
Well it is freaking cold here in Vegas (LOL) and I am out of onions
and feeling lazy. So I fire up the pan, add some oil and add some
dried onions. Whoa, they brown really fast. Okay, I'm going to make
em crispy. Mmmmmm...nice oniony aroma coming off of that pan nice
and quick. I usually use white onions, dice em up and brown em. It
takes a while.
Anyway, I add my garlic and basil, then the tomato sauce. I think I
prefer it this way.
Epiloge: the spagetti is gone but the house still smells of golden
brown onions. Mmmmmmmmm.
