Sticky onions

A quick cheat alternative to caramelised onions that livens up an everyday dish

Sticky Onions

This is nice with steak, lamb chops or even sausages

Thinly slice a couple of onions and gently soften them in a frying pan in a little bit of butter/spread for four or five minutes (so they are no longer crisp, but not to the point they are mushy).

Add in four or five teaspoons of honey, a pinch of thyme and some black pepper and heat gently stirring occasionally for about five minutes. At first the honey will go really runny, and then it will thicken up. When it is really sticky, add a two or three teaspoons of vinegar and gently heat for a couple of minutes stirring until it is sticky again.

(also nice with a few chilli flakes in)

Stir Fry Sauce

Try this with stir-fried chicken and vegetables (for example onions, peppers, baby or frozen corn, courgettes, tinned bamboo, tinned water chestnuts, whatever you have or fancy), stir in at the end after you have added any noodles or rice; just enough to coat (it is too rich to have as a 'gravy')

(I often make a small pot of this to drizzle over or dip spring rolls into)

Equal quantities of honey and Worcestershire sauce

a dash of Tabasco to taste

(a pinch of dried coriander leaf or a few fresh leaves if you have some growing)

I sometimes also grate in some root ginger with the vegetables (root ginger freezes well, peels easily with a potato peeler and can be grated from frozen into dishes)
