Here's a recipe I tried a few weeks back - English Onion Soup! Just like French Onion but made with cider instead of wine! Again, I made it using the onions hubby grew in our garden. The recipe is from the Asda website.
English Onion Soup
Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 15g unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- 500g large brown onions, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 15g plain flour
- 500ml reduced-salt beef stock
- 500ml cider
- 1 small baguette
- 75g mature Cheddar
- Melt the butter and oil in a large saucepan. Add the onions and stir until they're well coated. Cook over a low heat, stirring often, until soft.
- Stir in the sugar and continue to cook over a low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring often, until they're a deep golden brown. As you stir, make sure you take the spoon right into the base of the pan to ensure the onions don't catch in places.
- Stir in the flour and cook, stirring all the time, for a further 1 minute. Gradually stir in the stock and then the cider. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 35-40 minutes.
- Preheat the grill. Slice the baguette and put in a single layer on a grill pan. Grill until toasted on one side. Turn over and sprinkle with the cheese, then grill until it melts.
- Divide the soup between 6 bowls and top each one with slices of bread. Sprinkle with black pepper, to serve.
That's all for tonight, see you again soon.
