Already on April 23, I made us a replica of Mom's BEST Onion Sauce because I CRAVED for it...
Onion Sauce with Langostino Lobster Tails... tiny red potatoes boiled in skin and green asparagus
Found them at Costco, Langostino Lobster Tails from Chile
On the Internet I found this photo (obviously from 2011...
My next fresh bought, product of Chile Langostino Lobster Tails...
Mine were fresh!
Onion Sauce
Ingredients:
350 gram onions finely chopped
40 gram butter or oil
25 gram flour (I used whole wheat)
2.5 dl milk
2.5 dl bouillon
1 bay leaf
few sprigs of parsley
1.5 dl whipped cream
salt and pepper
fresh nutmeg
Preparation method:
Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet. Add the onions and fry them until soft and golden. Not brown. Stir in the flour and fry it gently for about 3 minutes. Then stir in the stock and milk, stir well so that no lumps form. Bring to a boil, add bay leaf and parsley and then cook for 20 minutes, stirring frequently on low heat. Otherwise, the sauce will burn. So be careful: take out the parsley and bay leaf. Stir in the whipped cream and season with salt and pepper. Then if desired, some nutmeg.
It sure did bring fond memories back of Mom!
Do you at times crave for a dish that your Mom loved to cook for the family?
Did you put a red circle round the SELL BY date? We will try the onion sauce; looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, Mariette.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteNo, Costco wholesale does that!
We both love onion sauce and this brought back fond memories of Mom's excellent onion sauce.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette, This sure sounds good. Unfortunately, milk and cream are absolutely forbidden to me, but perhaps I can figure out a substitution using rice milk. I have read some recipes that require a blender, and I am currently shopping for one. You can buy rice milk here, but it is loaded with sugar.

Dearest Jim,
DeleteIt is hard to find milk without sugar. Only Trader Joe's has for me the almost sugar free soy milk. All others are like you mention, loaded with sugar.
Hope you find a way to find substitutes, this is delicious.
Hugs,
Mariette
Yummy.
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
DeleteOkay, now you know how to create a yummy meal...
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette - the combination sounds really delicious - I too like potatoes cooked in their skins, and they are far more nutritious done that way too.
ReplyDeleteDearest Rosemary,
DeleteYes, they contain still all the goodies that we otherwise would trash.
It sure was a delicious meal.
Hugs,
Mariette
No onions for me as they make my mouth go all tingling and don't like it a slight onion taste is ok.
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteThat's too bad... Love anything with onions! It is one of the world's greatest commodities, used in all regions.
Hugs,
Mariette
Sounds delicious. I will try it. My Tom wants a sauce on everything.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
DeleteIt sure is delicious and guess most male love to have a sauce!
Hugs,
Mariette
Your mom’s onion sauce sounds so yummy! Whipped cream, mmm :-) And your dish is so beautiful and inviting! It’s wonderful you have your mom’s recipe and can recreate it!
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteYes, this kind of onion sauce (though Mom never added the whipped cream) is always good. Sure glad I found this recipe that comes very close to hers.
Hugs,
Mariette
La proverò,grazie Mariette!
ReplyDeleteCara Olga,
DeletePrego, e di successo con esso.
Un abbraccio,
Mariette
Oh that does indeed sound delicious Mariette, I loved having dinner at my mum's, lots of lovely memories there 💜
ReplyDeleteDearest Grace,
DeleteYes, lovely memories of childhood times and anytime we had dinner at my Parents'. Mom loved to cook for her loved ones!
Hugs,
Mariette
that sounds not just delicious but very special dear Mariette! Oh you bet, I miss a lot of my Mom;s cooking so much. The way she makes spaghetti sauce which would seem weird for non-Filipinos with so much sweetness, I love it so much! And she also cooks great Chicken Pastel, a spanish style chicken dish made with cream and mushrooms and water chestnuts!
ReplyDeleteDearest Stevenson,
DeleteYou sure are filled with very fond memories of your Mom's cooking!
That's what kept us alive and build us and now only the memories are there and the real dishes can never be 'copied' to come close to theirs... we try hard but somehow it never is exactly like that. Also the nostalgia about it adds to the flavor.
Hugs,
Mariette
Delicious recipe!
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteYes it is and could eat it again soon...
Hugs,
Mariette
hach so lecker und mir läuft gerade das Wasser im Mund zusammen, was für ein tolles Rezept hast Du von Deiner Mutter bekommen, liebe Mariette.
ReplyDeleteJa, es gibt auch Rezepte, die ich von meiner Mutter geerbt habe und sehr in Ehren halte, z.B. Ostfriesischen Grünkohl mit Pinkelwurst.
Liebe Grüße von Traudi.♥
Liebe Traudi,
DeleteJa, so bekommt man vieles mit von unsere Mütter und oft gehen die Gedanken zurück an die gute Zeit wo sie noch da war...
Liebe Grüße,
Mariette
Yum.
ReplyDeleteDearest Regine,
DeleteYes, Mom's onion sauce was delicious and this came close to hers.
Hugs,
Mariette
Looks delicious Mariette.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom is a much better cook than I am, and we visit Portugal she loves to host the whole family at her house.
Dearest Sami,
DeleteThat is quite a labor of love!
My Mom used to host big part of her family for dinner once a year when we had the Fair. Fond memories of those times.
Well, guess it rubbed off on me as I've hosted the entire family when we still lived in The Netherlands. Cooking dinner for 17...
Hugs,
Mariette
