The Lemon Went Kaput! And updated shabbos menu.

[mamamoomoo]

All the food already cooked for Shabbos. The last few things- beets in the pressure cooker on the stove, eggplant charring in the oven on broiler setting. Eggplant is done. I turn off the oven, hear a loud pop, smell a burnt smell, and all the lights in the house go off. Absolute silence. The oven just shorted the electricity in the house. Again. (

What's your onion salad like? Sounds intriguing.

This time I chose to make them lacto-fermented but they can be made with just diced or sliced onions, salt, and lemon juice.
I made mine with water, salt, lemon juice and let it ferment outside the fridge for 1.5 days.
Either way, you have to let it sit for some time. The lemon and the salt draw out the sharpness of the onion, and you're left with a crunchy sour salty thing. Its great either plain, on bread, or mixed with other stuff (like avocado).
