That's a different question. You can make a different dish, quicker.
The dishes being described in these recipes call for slow cook onions. The chefs writing them prepare them this way. Maybe it's not worth the time, but that's the recipe. The printed recipe is a lie.
In any case, it's 40 minutes of waiting.. not working. You can also onions them in advance. They last a few days in the fridge.
Worth it..? If you're efficient with timing/prep then it doesn't really add any time. I would definitely say that it is worth having good onions if onions are the main part of the dish.. which these are.
Meanwhile, the best quick alternative to caramelized onions is grilled onions, not quick fried onions.
- Retric 5y agoNo, if the recipe calls for 10 minutes that’s the recipe. You can always spice things up by spending 40+ minutes slow cooking onions, but that’s not the recipe as presented. It’s little different than changing the spices for your personal palette, but while you may prefer different steps or different ingredients that doesn’t invalidate faster, simpler, or cheaper recipes.
- dalbasal 5y agoWe're going in circles. The premise of this article is that the written recipe is a lie. There's a nebulous, yet "real" recipe which is instructions for onion soup or rogan josh with the flavour and texture it's supposed to have.. the good version.
- Retric 5y agoYes, and at it’s heart that premise assumes saving time isn’t a valid option. Which is as I am pointing out obviously false. Presumably, for most of these recipes there are many things that could be improved with more effort somewhere in the process. For example grinding flour is best done directly before you use it, it’s however not something that most people can even notice and takes a lot more effort.
