Things you can do for your future self that you will really appreciate:
Caramelize, like, a whole ton of onions.
Really, get a whole ass bag of yellow onions, peel, chop, cry, put on a podcast and start stirring those tasty bastards. Delgaze every so often. Do like, 12, 15 onions until they’re a thick, dark brown paste of flavor then spoon them into an ice cube tray and freeze.
So later, when you’re tired and Don’t want fast food again, or it’s 3AM after a meds adjustment and you need curry right the fuck now, or it’s family dinner night and you want to look like an adult, sad, tired, mentally wobbly future you can crack open the freezer, dump a cube or three in the pan with the chicken or curry or stuffing and get all that delicious goodness delivered to your brain without the effort of a hot stove right then.
So next time you have three hours to kill and want to do some self care,
Caramelize so many fucking onions.
i’ve posted before about the concerned looks i get from grocery store employees due to my regular habit of purchasing 40+ onions for caramelization purposes. they’re great in sandwiches
pro tips:
use butter instead of oil
low heat + lots of time = carmalezation magic
freeze in a large freezer bag squished flat
they shrink in the pan, you’ll only get < ¼ the volume you start with.
they last ages in the fridge
