     We have a bucket full of onions. Well it was full but we have been using them

    Have to be used...French Onion Soup methinks 

    There a nice lamb bone from last nights roast and after stripping the meat off...(nothing better than cold meat sandwiches)

    I popped the bone into a large pot add some aromatics and

    Voila Lamb stock

    So I peeled...with a few tears...some onions 

    Sliced them and popped into a pot with some butter

    Nice slow cook about 30 minutes and they are soft, sweet and delicious 

    Don’t forget to stir them regularly 

    Don’t want any burnt bits

    Caramelised but not burnt


    Add a dash of white wine and leave to simmer for about 10 mins

    And Voila 

    Lunch is served 

    The traditional way to serve French Onion soup is with a cheese toasted crouton on top but I’m happy with a little chopped parsley 

    And a cold lamb sandwich on plastic white bread


    Perfect
