Expanding your pantry; Asian Greens

This will be my first post in the "Expanding Your Pantry" series of posts.

Asian greens: Chinese broccoli also called Gai Lan, Baby Bok Choy or Pan Choi and Choy Sum

The Chinese have been using greens for food and medicine since the fifth century. Greens contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, potassium, calcium, magnesium, beta-carotene, vitamin C, folate, and other B vitamins.

Great for the immune system. Valuable nutrients are best obtained when greens are eaten raw, microwaved or stir-fried.

Whiskey Onions

---

Okay here is one of my favorite complements to red meat, pork, or wild game. Whiskey Onion recipe is so good I make it every time I grill. I even make Whiskey Onions when I make meat loaf for my Whiskey Onion Meat Loaf.
What you need.

5 to 6 onions about 1 lb each Vadalia onions are my favorite for this recipe

3/4 cup of red wine

1 cup whiskey what ever brand you like.

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

salt and pepper to taste

2 Tablespoons butter

2 Tablespoons oil

1. Slice your onions as thin as you like then in a large pan melt your butter and add the oil. Then add your onions and carmelize on medium heat to a deep brown but not burn onion.

2. When you got the onions to a nice color add rest of you ingredients. Reduce the Whiskey and wine to almost nothing.

Now you have a great onion side for steak, burgers, chops. You can also take and add the onions to a favorite meatloaf recipe.
Couple other things you can add to the Whiskey Onions

1. Jalapeno's add about 1 to 3 or if you like heat add more

2. Mushrooms

Add both while carmelizing onions
