Smothered Onions Recipe
Ingredients
2 lb (1 kg) small white onions
4 tbsp (60 mL) vegetable oil
4 tbsp (60 mL) bacon drippings
1/4 tsp (1 mL) celery salt
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup (60 mL) fresh parsley, chopped fine (optional)
Directions
Clean and remove skins from the small onions.
This is quickly done if you cover them with boiling water, let them stand 5 minutes, drain and peel, cutting first the top and very little of the bottom so the onions do not break when cooking.
Place the cleaned onions in a 4-cup (1 L) microwave-safe dish.
Pour the oil and the bacon drippings on top.
Cover and microwave at HIGH 6 to 8 minutes, stirring twice.
It is important that the onions remain a little crunchy.
Add the remaining ingredients, toss until well blended.
Serve hot or tepid.
