Beer Braised Onions

Submitted by Noo8820

"These onions are great with burgers (try it with my recipe #309195).They can be cooked ahead, cooled and kept in the fridge. When you need them, simmer them gently. When they are hot, add a splash of beer to perk up the flavour."

I used this creme brulee porter http://www.stbcbeer.com/black-water/creme-brulee-beer-page/ I put them over cheese pierogies in a slow cooker in a little extra butter for a pot luck. They were a hit! So yummy and versatile

So delicious and so easy to make. While we don't drink beer, I keep it on hand for occasions such this as I love to cook with it. These onions really went well with your recipe#309195. Made for PRMR, August 2013.

I had these with the Chicago Beer Burgers and they were great. The beer combined with the caramelization has a zen-like quality that it gives the onions. I do recommend this on every burger!

Oh so good! These were so easy to make and tasted fantastic over a pan-seared steak. It was the perfect amount for just the two of us! I used a local Costa Rican beer - Imperial, but next time will spring for a darker import. Oh, and used a raw cane sugar rather than refined white. Yummy!!! Thanks for posting, Noo! Made for Fall PAC 2012.
