ROASTED CREAMED ONIONS

Steps:

• Put onions in a bowl and cover with boiling water After 1 minute, drain off the water. Using a sharp paring knife trim off the root end of the onion, leaving a little of the hard pad intact. It will soften as it cooks and it will keep the onion from slipping apart. Starting at the root end, peel away the outer layer of skin, then trim the tips. Put the peeled onions in a roasting pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss them with olive oil, salt and pepper, and roast them at 350 degrees for about an hour, until soft and caramelized. Stir,, toss or jiggle every 20 minutes to keep them from sticking and to spread the color around. While the onions are roasting, reduce 1/4 cup white wine about in half. Add chicken broth, cream onion, bay leaf and thyme. Simmer and then turn off the heat and let steep for 10-15 minutes. In another slightly larger saucepan, proceed as for basic bechamel, add butter and flour and the steeped liquid from above (after removing onion and herbs). Once the sauce is thickened, whisk in cheddar cheese. Season with salt and grating of nutmeg. Can be made a day or 2 in advance and held in refrigerator.

SKILLET-ROASTED AND CREAMED MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Skillet-roast the garlic cloves: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unpeeled garlic cloves. Cook, stirring occasionally, so that the skin gets charred on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and wrap the garlic cloves in a clean kitchen towel for a few minutes to cool and soften. Peel off the skins and set aside.
• Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat and add the mushrooms to the dry skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their natural juices and begin to soften and brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
• Melt the butter in the same skillet, then add the thawed pearl onions and the peeled skillet-roasted garlic cloves. Toss to coat completely in the butter.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until the onions begin to caramelize and turn golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Sprinkle the sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt over the top of the onions and garlic, then add the vegetable stock, vinegar and thyme sprigs, stirring often and scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Then add the reserved mushrooms back into the pan, tossing with the onions and garlic.
• Simmer over medium-high heat until the liquid begins to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in the cream, nutmeg, and Parmesan to coat and bring to a simmer so that the sauce warms through completely, 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste before serving.
