The work was sooo worth it tbh 🥹 made french onion soup, a huge grazing board, japanese sweet potato fries, and seared scallops for Mother’s Day dinner! It took me all day but it was def a challenge I was happy to take 🫡 get the soup recipe below‼️ Ingredients (for 4-6 servings): -Around 30 peeled garlic cloves -1 cup extra virgin olive oil -kosher salt -fresh thyme sprigs -4 tbsp salted butter -3 yellow onions, peeled & sliced -1/2 cup dry white wine -1/4 cup cooking sherry -2 tbsp balsamic vinegar -1 tbsp Worcestershire -4 cups beef stock -black pepper -crushed red pepper flakes -baguette -8 ounces gruyere cheese Directions: -Preheat oven to 250°F. Place garlic cloves in a ramekin and pour in olive oil until they are fully submerged. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and add in thyme sprigs. Cover the ramekin with a lid or some foil. Bake for 2 hours. Set aside, and store cooled leftovers in refrigerator immediately. -In a large pan oven over medium heat, add in the butter to melt. Once melted, add in the sliced onions and a hefty pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are completely caramelized but not burnt (this could take up to 60 minutes). -Once the onions are caramelized, deglaze with the white wine. Add in the sherry, balsamic vinegar, and Worcestershire. Bring to a boil and then add in the beef stock. Simmer for about 15 minutes, then taste for seasoning. Add in salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. -Set the oven to broil. Cut the baguette into small crostini, then spread around 6 of the garlic confit cloves on each crostini. -Fill soup crocks about 2/3 of the way with the French onion soup, then place in a garlic confit-covered crostini. Cut the Gruyère into thin strips, then cover the crostini with a layer of Gruyère. -Place the soup crocks uncovered into the oven on broil for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly charred in spots. Remove from oven and serve. Enjoy! #soup #frenchonion #frenchonionsoup #yum #homecooking #recipevideo #satisfying #foodie #familydinner #souprecipe #goodsoup
