Each year, food bloggers from all over the world join forces to host the Menu for Hope online offering an array of delectable culinary prizes: books, cooking gears or cooking dates. For every US$10, the donor receive a virtual raffle ticket toward a prize of their choice. All you need is $10 and a bit of luck.
As Pim says:" We may never eradicate hunger from the face of the earth, but why should that stop us from trying?"
This year as usual also the money will be given to the UN' s Worl Food Programme and in particular Lesotho children.
Once upon a time a plump onion got lost in my kitchen, or how once I bought a bulky onion for clear conscience (healthy-wise). If you know me a little bit you that I have a dreadful aversion for raw onions. Pissaladière (typically French Riviera onion tart) is fine in my menu, more than fine actually :-).
This onion stays a while on my kitchen counter; we looked at each other a lot. I really didn't know what to do with it. And one day: Bingo! (No I didn't see the mega lottery winning numbers) I remembered that I have somewhere a recipe of candied onion in kosher salt. I just needed to find the recipe now ...
Result is very nice: visually and taste wise (I must admit I will re-try this recipe for sure). The onion is just sweet like it should not too much. I had it with a chicory salad and real vinaigrette (olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper whisked in a bowl). I'm sure it will be also perfect with mayonnaise.
Before giving you my recipe I would like to talk a little bit about my next post. I spent a full afternoon at Lenôtre école gourmande in Cannes (where I learned how to make beautiful macarons) cooking a full Christmas diner. Stay tuned :-)
