Caramelized Onion and Potato Stacks - Donna Hay


This week, WWDH brings you my choice, these potato stacks.  I was intrigued when I came across the recipe and more intrigued as I placed them into muffin tins and later watched the paper dissolve.

 In a way, this was a more difficult recipe than usual because it was time consuming.  Slice the onions and cook.  Slice the potatoes.  Layer in papered tins.  Bake twice, once covered, once uncovered.  When it was all over, it had consumed quite a bit of time.

 I have not tasted one yet so I can't give it a rating of any kind.  We have a Jewish holiday coming up and I decided to serve it then.  I will just have to come back after Shevuos (holiday) and let you know.

 Below is Donna's recipe which I followed pretty closely.  I used vegetable broth instead of chicken stock.  I also used my mandolin to slice the potatoes and that made them perfect for this recipe.  I was able to get about five thin slices between the two onion rings.

 My onions fell apart in the skillet and I had some difficulty transferring them to the muffin tins.  With a little ingenuity, I put them back together using my hands.  


caramelised onion and potato stacks  adapted from Donna Hay

2 tablespoons olive oil
3  onions, thickly sliced
500g  potatoes, peeled and thinly slicedl
⅔ cup  organic vegetanle broth
80g butter, melted
I meant to put herbs from the garden on top and completely forgot.


Preheat oven to (350ºF).

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Add the onion slices and cook, in batches, for 3 minutes or until golden.

 Place an onion slice in the base of 8 x ½-cup capacity  muffin tins lined with non-stick baking paper.

 Layer with potato slices and finish with a slice of onion.

 Divide the stock and butter between the stacks and top with a thyme sprig. 

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. 

Remove the foil and bake for a further 30 minutes or until the onions and potatoes are cooked through and golden. 

Makes 8.

Eat and enjoy.

    Great choice, these were delicious! A big hit and one I will make again. Yours look great. My potatoes stacked a little higher, probably because I was cooking for guys and they love potatoes so I just filled it up...lol.

    My onions kind of fell apart in the pan too, so it was puzzle time. Hope you are enjoying Shevuos.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
