Walnut and Caramelized Onion Tea Sandwiches
Recipe Type: Lunch, Sandwich
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 45 mins
Total time: 1 hour
Serves: 7-9
Ingredients
  • 6 onions, diced
  • 1 C walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 T honey
  • 2 T brown sugar
  • 1-2 T olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 12oz. (1 1/2 pkgs.) cream cheese
  • 14-18 slices of white bread
Instructions
  1. Heat pan, add oil. When oil is hot, add onions, honey, salt, pepper, and sugar.
  2. Cook over medium-low heat for about 45 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated and the onions are caramelized (brownish, tender, sweet).
  3. Mix with softened cream cheese and walnuts. Add salt and pepper if desired.
  4. Top bread with onion mixture. Top with another slice of bread.
  5. Cut into triangles, quarters, or fingers.
Notes

The onions bothered my eyes a lot, because of the quantity. If you can get past that, this is a really yummy sandwich!! One trick I’ve discovered for peeling is to peel them under running water. Helps a little with the crying. 🙂
The filling would also be a good chip or cracker dip. It could be good added to scrambled eggs.

Broccoli Penne
Recipe Type: Main, Pasta
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 30 mins
Total time: 45 mins
Serves: 3-4
Roasted broccoli and carrots are paired with a fried egg, bacon, almonds, and a delicious sauce… oh and don’t forget the pasta!
Ingredients
  • 2 heads broccoli, cut into large pieces (use the stem too – cut/peel the tough outside and use the tender inside)
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • pinch cayenne
  • 1/2 t garlic powder
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 t or half a sprig fresh tarragon
  • 1/2 t fresh oregano
  • 1/2 sprig fresh thyme
  • 1 T dijon mustard
  • 1/2 C balsamic vinegar (reduced to about 2-3 T)
  • 2-4 T olive oil
  • 3/4 – 1 C pasta water
  • 1 slice bacon/serving (for topping)
  • 1/4 C parmesan cheese (for topping)
  • 1/4 C almonds (for topping)
  • 1 egg/serving (for topping)
  • penne pasta
Instructions
  1. Toss broccoli with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast broccoli at 400F for 20 minutes. Halfway through add grated carrots (also tossed with a bit of oil, salt, and pepper).
  2. Meanwhile, cook and drain pasta, reduce balsamic vinegar (watch carefully so it doesn’t burn), and cook bacon.
  3. Whisk together the mustard, reduced balsamic vinegar, herbs, cayenne, garlic powder, salt, pepper. Stream in 2-3 T olive oil as you whisk. Add the pasta water.
  4. Right before serving, fry the egg(s) (I cooked mine covered so the top would set quicker).
  5. Combine pasta, sauce, and veggies. Top with an egg, 1 halved piece of bacon, almonds, and parmesan cheese.

Roasted squash and garlic are paired with Gruyère and a bit of cream to make a delightful pasta.
Ingredients
  • 4 T cream

  1. Heat oven to 350F. Halve squash, scrape out seeds. Drizzle with olive oil. Place cut side down. Bake for 1 hour, or until flesh is soft. Let cool and scrape flesh from skin.

  3. Over med-low heat, cook butter, with sage leaves, until it’s browned (I usually partially cover it because it tends to splatter a lot). Add squash and garlic, mash in with a fork. Add salt, pepper, vinegar, and cook over low heat for a few minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Cook pasta for about 3 minutes.
  5. Add pasta water to sauce, stir.

  7. Serve topped with Gruyère.
