The red onion of Tropea

For these caramelized onions in the microwave I chose red onions from Tropea, a variety with ancient origins, with historical traces dating back to Roman times. It takes its name from the picturesque Calabrian city which, with its Mediterranean climate and mineral-rich soils, has allowed this vegetable to thrive and develop its unique characteristics.

It stands out for its vibrant color and sweet taste, with a slight hint of spiciness. It is appreciated not only for its distinctive flavor, but also for its nutritional properties. This onion is rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, and contains antioxidants and has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

In the kitchen there onion it is a versatile ingredient, to be used both raw and cooked… or caramelized!

Sriracha is a sauce based on red chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, sugar and salt of Thai origins but now widespread throughout the world. Her name actually comes from the coastal town of Si Racha, where she was born.

This spicy sauce is loved for its unique flavor, which combines the heat of chili peppers with the sweetness of sugar and the aromatic touch of garlic. It’s a versatile seasoning that pairs perfectly with a wide range of dishes, from Asian to Mexican and even Western meat and seafood dishes. I buy mine on Amazon, here*.

And with the addition of mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce becomes truly delicious.

Vegan and lactose-free Sriracha mayonnaise

If you have intolerance problems or want to make a vegan version of Sriracha mayonnaise, then you can replace traditional mayonnaise with a vegan mayonnaise, available in many shops.

Or you can easily prepare it at home using a vegetable drink (50 ml) emulsified with seed oil (150 ml) and apple cider vinegar (1 tablespoon). Once you have a creamy consistency you can add Sriracha sauce, salt and pepper according to your personal taste.

But let’s get to the classic mayonnaise recipe with the hot addition of our Sriracha sauce.

How to make pistachios

First of all, follow the preparation you find in NUTELLOTTI

you just have to mix the dough, make the balls, make a dimple in the center and bake. In the link you will find all the advice illustrated with step by step photos so as not to make mistakes in size and cooking.

Finally, remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack.

Only when your pistachios are very cold can you fill them in the centre, my advice is to use a disposable piping bag, insert the pistachio cream and finally cut the tip to about 1 cm in diameter, fill with a polka dot cream for each biscuit.
