Cream cheese whipped cream

Ingredient:
- 4oz ( around 225g) cream cheese
- 1/4 cup icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream

1. Combine the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Fit the mixer with the whisk attachment and mix on medium speed until smooth. While the mixture is still whipping, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Stop and scrape the bottom of the bowl a couple of times while you continue whipping until the cream can hold a stiff peak.

Balsamic Caramelized Onions

Ingredients:
- 洋蔥 2至3個
- 蒜頭(剁蓉)4粒
- 牛油(奶油)12克 (optional)
- 菜油 1湯匙
- 紅糖(dark brown sugar)2 湯匙
- 意大利黑醋 (Balsamic vinegar)1 湯匙
- thyme 1 至 2 湯匙
- 鹽 少許

1. 把洋蔥切幼絲。

2. 用中火燒熱一深鍋,下菜油和牛油,當牛油融解,加蒜蓉爆香,切勿燒焦。下洋蔥炒勻。加蓋,轉慢火煮至軟身。如不夠水,可加少許,以免燶底。

3. 加醋和糖及thyme,轉中火,打開蓋繼續煮。此時洋蔥會出些少水份的。間中拌勻,煮至汁收乾一大部份,不要煮得太乾或太濕。下鹽調味,即成。放涼點,就可以加在漢堡扒上面。

Notes:
1. 煮洋蔥時,可不用另加水份。洋蔥本身已含水份。但如果太乾,可以加少許。
2. 加蓋煮洋蔥,令洋蔥本身的水份不容易蒸發外,也容易煮軟。原汁原味。
3. 切勿把洋蔥煮至太糊,失去口感。
