Compare Foods – Small Onions

herdez-salsa-ranchera-mediumIt looks like Herdez is discontinuing the Hot Salsa Ranchera and only has the Medium version.  I bought a can of the medium, and haven’t tried it yet… but saw something I wrote previously that says the medium is still plenty hot.

cipollottiCompare Foods had a couple of varieties of small onions for $2.99 a pound.  There were white and copper colored pearl 2006onions and an onion that looked like Cipollini.  I mixed them together since they were all the same price.20131214-creamed-pearl-onion-recipe-1

I was frying some boneless pork chops on the stove top, with a little Agave nectar and a little mango powder.  *I had gotten the mango-powderAmchur powder at the Indian Market in Apex, NC.  The powder has a hint of citrus, although I don’t think of a mango being a citrus fruit.

I put a mixture of some of the small onions in my microwave-onion-cookermicrowave onion cooker and set it for about a minute and a half.  I took the pork chops out of the pan and natures-seasons-seasoning-blend-seven-point-five-ounce-bottleadded some sliced okra (no breading) and a little olive oil to cook them.  Natures Seasoning (Mary Ann’s & Aunt Sis’s contribution) while frying the okra.

After the okra were done, I took the onions out of the microwave and added them to the pan.  Just a few minutes to give them a little color and more flavor.

I had some Jewish Rye Bread, so I made a sandwich of some of the pork chops and some mayo.  The pork was good!  The okra were good!  The little onions were good!  *I forgot to mention that I didn’t peel the onions, which provided them with a rustic quality.  You can pull off some of the onion husk easily, but sucking the sweet onion from the husk is also a pleasure.
