Related: About this forumA Cheesy, Oniony Gratin That Brings a Family Together
'The members of the allium family can be a confusing lot.
What is the difference between spring onions and regular onions? Is it still green garlic if its purple at the bottom? And why, exactly, are leeks so much grittier than their oniony cousins?
It all seems particularly perplexing in late spring, when just-plucked alliums hit the markets, arriving as verdant, more tender versions of their mature selves. This is the time to take full advantage of their youthful attractions. Treat them as vegetables rather than as seasonings, and make them the stars of the plate.
In this recipe, I layer onions, leeks and green garlic into a cheesy, golden gratin covered with anchovy-laden bread crumbs. To accentuate the vegetables sweetness, I brown them in butter before adding cream and cheese to the pan. More browning happens in the oven as the bread crumb and Parmesan topping toasts.'>>>

Sorry, I had to do it! I know many people don't care for that odoriferous vegetable and my dear late husband was one. For the 25 years we were married, I could only use them sparingly (if at all.) Since he died, I have been doubling my intake, hoping make up for that deprivation.

(115,733 posts)I get in restaurants, which seem to assume everybody loves the damn things and put them in everything (tuna salad? seriously??), I would do it. Instead I have to pick out every little bit and set it aside in order for the food to be edible at all, assuming the onion flavor hasn't permeated the whole dish and ruined it. You can have all my onions forever. Especially the raw red ones.

Lentils. Green peas. Fish, too, though I do eat canned tuna, but only with ketchup or cocktail sauce. We could probably make some good deals.

(115,733 posts)OK on green peas; I like most fish, especially salmon, but can't imagine putting ketchup or cocktail sauce on tuna. De gustibus non est disputandum, I guess.
