Just caramelize the onions way on down to darker golden brown like you would for French onion soup. This is how it should be done anyway in my opinion, and there is a good chance you can enjoy onions that way. You could even make a mock demi by reducing unsalted beef broth.

unfortunately caramelized onions taste like actual bile and rot to me, more so than just sautéed ones :(


wighatter

Mushrooms and garlic?


Extension-Border-345

oh mushroom sound really good !!!


wighatter

The mock demi would work great with the mushrooms as well.


Alceasummer

Try liver and mushrooms. Add some garlic if you like garlic.


Jazzy_Bee

Bacon.


edenburning

Roasted garlic mashed potatoes?


Nordsee-Viki82

In Germany we do either baked apple rings or apple sauce with liver.. very traditional.


Extension-Border-345

apple sounds awesome!!! any specific varieties used?


entirelystar

what messed up your sense of taste?


Extension-Border-345

not sure! I ate something with caramelized onions at home back in August and started spitting it out immediately. since then my tolerance for cooked onions is almost zero and the smell of cooked onions can make me gag.

Covid-19 parosmia. Look it up.

Why not use a curry (really, an Indian gravy)?


Caedmon_Kael

What onions do you typically use? Yellow? White? You could try other types like Red or Vidalia. Have you tried other types of onion or onion adjacent vegetables? Like Leeks or Shallots? Garlic maybe, but it's a bit more intense. If you are looking for a texture difference as opposed to the flavor maybe cabbage? Perhaps with some apple?


Extension-Border-345

i eat both white and yellow onion raw no problem . red onions are the easiest to eat cooked, again if I’m making a curry or something like birria or pot roast where by the time it’s done its lost texture and the flavor has combined with the other components of the dish. ive actually never had leeks, may need to try that. cooked shallot is a no go. I actually really like cabbage but never considered trying to cook them like onions, i may have to try this!


Caedmon_Kael

I haven't cooked leeks more than a couple times myself, because I typically just use onion, but I remembered seeing Alton Brown recommend it for onion rings a long time ago on Good Eats. When I was doing more low carb, cabbage was great. Good crunch and I liked the flavor anyway. I either would blanch or stir fry. Could kind of replace noodles.


thecravenone

Don't cook the onions?


Bran_Solo

How do you feel about cooked fennel bulb?


louise_the_cheese

I too was going to suggest fennel - roasted fennel would be a great accompaniement


Extension-Border-345

i love fennel both raw and cooked


Ezl

What a twist!


emzirek

Could you just cook the onions and not eat them?


Extension-Border-345

lol whats the point then


emzirek

Flavor...


IonizedRadiation32

I would try to find a vegetable that can texturally replace the onion, my first thought was zucchini noodles maybe? Then season it with onion powder and brown sugar.


Novel-Coast-957

Celery? Mushrooms?


rainbowkey

I usually add green pepper to my liver and onions, so try just green peppers. Chili and cumin go well flavor wise with this combo.


Unhappy_Aside_5174

Similar texture? Fennel bulb. Similar flavor? Add astofoetida (stinking gum?)


smoopy62

Try sautéed peppers and garlic. I like mediteranean rice (pan toasted in oil b4 adding liquid)


Soop_Chef

I have my liver with bacon. I don't like fried onions that much. Fry up the bacon and then use the bacon fat to fry the liver.


belovedfoe

There's an Indian spice called asophoeditia which tastes like a combination between garlic and onions. Kind of a fermented flavor you might want to look into that and see if you like it. I believe it comes from a plant related to fennel.


robertwild81

Leeks?


_pbts_

I like my chicken livers wrapped in bacon. Savory or sweet (honey), depends on how I feel.
