A to Z Challenge - V

V is for Vanilla and Vidalia Onions

Vanilla Panna Cotta 

In a heavy bottom sauce pan, slowly cook 3/4 cup milk, 3/4 cup light cream, 1/2 cup sugar and 2 vanilla beans (split) until just beginning to simmer. Pour the mixture through a strainer and whisk in 1 oz gelatin until fully dissolved. Set aside until cool to touch (1/2 hour). When cool, fold in 2 cups of strained yogurt.
Pour mixture into lightly buttered, 10" tart pan (removable bottom is easier) or about 1 dozen jelly glasses.
Lovely served by itself or with fresh fruits.



Vidalia Onion Dip
 

Martha Stewart likes Vidalia Onions, I mean a LOT. A search for 'Martha Stewart Vidalia Onions' will give you 300,000 hits without dupulicates.
Her dip is a massive improvement over dried onion soup based dips (which I love, BTW). The onion flavor is richer and stands out so well against the creaminess... Now I have to go buy some potato chips, sigh!
