Winter time ! Here is a simple recipe to warm you up.

4 medium size onions

2 inches kombu strip

1 1/2 tsp barley miso

kuzu (optional)

parsley

water

heavy pot w/ lid

- soak kombu , mince and place at the bottom of the pot

- section onions 3/4 deep (if too deeply cut, onion will fall apart)

- place onions on top of kombu, half cover with water, top each onion with 1/4 tsp pureed miso

- cover, bring to a boil, reduce to low and simmer until onions are soft ans transluscent

(you can also bring to a boil and bake at 380′F)

- remove onions ,place on a serving dish

- add diluted kuzu to remaining liquid ,stirring constantly. Pour over onions.

This is a good base to understand long cook dishes and the energy they provide.

Feel free to experiment variations, only practice brings understanding.
