My friend, Cindy, made a Sweet Onion Pudding this past week to great reviews and the picture she took of it has had me wanting to try it ever since she posted it. Was not sure how Miss Picky would like it, but everyone else here is sure to love!
So I tried it. I used two big sweet onions, sliced on a mandoline, and a little less butter. No heavy cream. Forgot to put it on the list. I used 2% milk because I couldn't send poor hubs out yet again! He's a sweetheart and doesn't mind errands, even though he knows ten minutes after he gets home, I'll have forgotten something. He's a good sport and he'll go. They already know him at the supermarket and bet that he'll be back! He usually is :)
We loved it. Miss Picky, of course didn't. But to her credit she tried a small piece. Barely. It was a nice side to brisket, instead of the potatoes we usually have with it!

ReplyDeleteThis is a favorite recipe of mine, thanks Cindy! I've always gone the full monty, never thought of substituting milk for cream, LOL. Its not something you make every day, or even every year! But its a wonderful special treat. And one day Miss Picky will enjoy it, hehe, with the full amount of cream!
ReplyDeleteCarol, this sounds and looks wonderful ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting ... it's definitely on my list of "must try" at least once this winter, AND it doesn't sound too difficult.

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like something I have had before..and you are right, nice change from potatoes..
