This section provides a list of tasty onion recipes and links to recipes using onions on other websites. It is aimed at helping you to find some new and exciting ways to eat your onions, because when you have a glut of any fruit or vegetable it is easy to get bored with eating them presented the same way every day.
Onions in our house are used in nearly every savoury dish we make. Onions are an extremely versatile vegetable and they can be cooked in almost any way with any meat, fish, poultry or other vegetables or served as a side dish on their own. The unique flavour adds depth to most dishes similar to the addition of herbs and seasonings. In our house almost all our main dishes incorporate onions somewhere.
As onions are such a staple food for us I have made it a personal challenge to find some tasty onion recipes that focus on them as a main ingredient. I have shared with you recipes from the many cook books we own, many of which are out of print, and recipes we have gathered from friends that we have enjoyed along the way. I hope you like them too.
Pictures to follow!
Happy eating!

This is a must do recipe if you fancy slow cooked onions for a barbeque. There is something extra special about slow cooked onions the way they cook them on a burger van so make your own and don't miss out just because you are at home.
My only experience of French Onion soup prior to discovering this recipe was for a speedy version. Mythoughts on this are if you don’t have time to make it properly, it takes 1.5 hours, make something else.
I love savoury flans, tarts and quiches hot or cold. This is one I have adapted from the original and use as a base for every style of filling I fancy.
These beans are a must have accompaniment for any BBQ we have, especially if we have friends coming over. They also make a great meal in themselves - remember to YeeeHaaaaw!
A lovely way to dish up onions as a vegetable. Great on a buffet table if you have fussy visitors and want to accomodate those that love raw onions and tomatoes.
A great snack or light meal that offers a lttile more flavour than the traditional Welsh Rarebit.
This is a must have with sausage and mash in our house. Give it a try, it works well with Yorkshire puddings too so try making a Toad In The Hole for an even more filling meal but our favourite is with a chop and veg.
This is a great side dish for that time when you are getting through a glut of courgettes. Make sure you get an even covering of oil and let the vegetables caramelise. Great served hot or cold.
