Mary from One Perfect Bite has organized a group to cook and blog our way through the list of Gourmet's 50 Women Game Changers. This is week #23 - Nancy Silverton who among other projects started La Brea Bakery in 1989 and perhaps known most recently for her involvement in the restaurant group known as Mozza. Each week you choose a dish of the featured Game Changer and so I chose Balsamic Glazed Onions. I'm not sure why this dish...but anything with balsamic glaze gets my attention and with the holidays coming up...this is a great side dish that can be made ahead and served at room temperature...another plus, in my opinion for holiday meals.
I'm new to the group, so perhaps this has already been discussed and debated, but I can't help but wonder why Giada De Laurentis and Sara Moulton did not make the list?

| The ingredients are simple...Balsamic, olive oil, sea salt, very large red onion, fennel fronds and stalks, bay leaves and dried fennel. The complete recipe can be found here. |
Gorgeous dish, Annie. I'm loving the red onions with the fennel. Your photos are so bright and beautiful...(that's a touch of envy there, our winter light is fading here in New England).
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the women who didn't make the cut on Gourmet's list---what about Mollie Katzen? She's one of my favorites.
Welcome to the group!
Oh I'm doing the onion and potato version of that on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteYou take the most beautiful photographs.
Hello Annie
ReplyDeleteLooks absolutely delicious and I shall put it in the oven next time I am roasting.
Thank you

What a beautiful dish! I love the flavors in here and can just imagine how lovely it tasted.
ReplyDeleteThe list is definitely controversial. No comment on Giada, but I think Sara would make a great addition to the list. Ah yes, personal preference ;)
So glad to have you cooking through the 50 game-changers with us.
This would make a perfect side for the holidays with my my new favourite fennel in the mix.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge onion fan, so I'll try this Game Changer for sure!
ReplyDeleteWould love to have this at Thanksgiving, and I like that it can be made ahead of time. Hmm, I would have through Sara Moulton and Giada would have been on this list.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the group. Your photos certainly are lovely. I love onions so I'll have to try this recipe.
ReplyDeleteYou always post the best recipes! This is a perfect side dish for the upcoming holiday season! Enjoyed seeing the list of women, but also curious why Giada and Sara weren't included.
ReplyDeleteLove the fennel in this dish! I've been on a fennel kick for a while. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of women chefs who I think should have made the list. Perhaps we should make our own list time time!

ReplyDeleteYou picked a lovely recipe to share with us today. As to your question: We had nothing to do with the selection of individuals on the list. We are just familiarizing ourselves with the women they chose. It would be interesting when we have completed featuring the chosen, to speak of omissions. I don't think this is the time to do it. It would diminish the contributions of those who made the list. Welcome to our merry band. You are a great addition to the group. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious - I will have to test out that recipe! I just stumbled across your blog & have just spent the last half an hour enjoying myself reading through some old posts. I look forward to popping back for some more inspiration!
