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.

Roasted Tomato Soup

Written by , Posted in Dinner, Gluten Free, Lunch, Main Dishes, Roasting, Sides, Soups, Vegetables, Vegetarian

 

Roasted Tomato Soup
Recipe Type: Soup, Main
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 60 mins
Total time: 1 hour 15 mins
Serves: 4-6
Comforting, homemade tomato soup. Perfect for a chilly fall day.
Ingredients
  • 10 tomatoes, each one cut in 6 or 8 pieces
  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 6 cloves of garlic, tip chopped off
  • 4 C veggie stock
  • 1 1/2 C water (or stock)
  • 1-2 t salt
  • 3/4-1 t pepper
  • 1 t sweet paprika
  • 1 t fresh thyme
  • 1/2 t dried oregano (or 1 t fresh)
  • 1/3 C garlic chives
  • 1/2 C basil
  • 3 T balsamic vinegar
  • 2-3 T olive oil
  • 1 T heavy whipping cream (or half and half, or milk… whatever you use in your morning coffee) per bowl
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350F. Place tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place onions and carrots on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast veggies for about 30 minutes (carrots might not be tender, that’s OK, we’re par-baking them, as they will cook more later).
  2. Add stock, thyme, oregano, garlic chives, paprika, salt, and pepper to soup pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until veggies are done roasting.
  3. Add roasted veggies to the soup pot. Bring to a boil and cook 15-30 minutes, or until carrots are tender.
  4. Add basil and balsamic vinegar and cook 5 minutes more.
  5. Using a hand blender (or a regular blender – if you do this method, please remove the plug in the lid and cover it with a towel instead, this allows steam to escape, and results in a non-disastrous soup making experience… trust me, I’ve learned this the hard way), submerge into soup, then begin to blend. Be careful, it may splash, and it’s very hot (I know you know this). Blend until smooth.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add a drizzle of good olive oil.
  7. Serve it topped with a drizzle of cream, alongside a grilled cheese sandwich.
Notes

This soup will freeze and reheat well. To store, cool on counter for a while, then place in the refrigerator. Once it’s completely cooled, freeze in an airtight container. It can be reheated to use in pasta sauces, to add to Minestrone Soup, you could add pasta to it, other veggies, or just reheat it and have it with another grilled cheeeeeeese! You could also eat it chilled, as a Gazpacho.

Grilled Cheese

Written by , Posted in Bread, Cheese, Dinner, Grains, Lunch, Main Dishes, Sandwiches, Sides, Vegetarian

Grilled Cheese
Recipe Type: Sandwich, Main or Side
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 8 mins
Total time: 13 mins
Serves: 1
A perfect compliment to tomato soup.
Ingredients
  • 2 pieces of bread (frozen, opt.)
  • 1 T olive oil (or unsalted butter)
  • salt
  • 4-5 slices Gruyère cheese (or your favorite kind of cheese)
  • 1 clove garlic (opt.) (or garlic salt, if you don’t want to use frozen bread)
Instructions
  1. If you’re using garlic: Rub the garlic onto one side of each slice of the frozen bread. It should use almost a whole clove. (Or for non-frozen: sprinkle with garlic powder.)
  2. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and spread the oil out evenly across the bread. Repeat on second slice of bread.
  3. Top un-oiled side of one slice of bread with cheese. Close the sandwich and place in a pre-heated pan (over medium or medium-low heat). Cook until bread is slightly browned, flip, cook until cheese is melted and bread is browned, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
