making life sweeter
There’s nothing quite like the flavor of a fresh, true sweet onion, but cooking with these little gems can be a bit tricky. The unique composition of a sweet onion makes them a wonderful ingredient in some dishes and a terrible choice for others. For the best results when cooking sweet onions consider these helpful tips:

Use sweets: Raw in sandwiches and salads; lightly grilled-whole or sliced, gently roasted or quickly baked; in stir-frys; power bowls, street tacos and other fresh fare. They are delicious caramelized but take care not to stir them too rigorously or cook them at too high a temperature

Avoid using in: Slow-cooker or long-simmering recipes like chili, stews, soup or in baked casserole dishes. Prolonged cooking breaks down the delicate texture and flavor of sweet onions.

California Chicken Burgers
Ingredients
For the burger patties:
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 slices jack cheese

Remaining ingredients:
4 brioche burger buns, split and toasted
4 strips bacon, cooked
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
1 ripe tomato, sliced
Large handful of leafy greens
Mayonnaise or sandwich spread
Directions
Make the burger patties: Combine chicken, garlic, onion and spices in a large bowl. Mix gently with your (clean) hands, being careful not to overwork the mixture. Form mixture into 4 patties of even size.

Heat oil in a large skillet to medium. Add burger patties and cook for 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking. Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty, cover and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove patties from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before assembling the burgers.

To assemble, Spread some mayonnaise on the bottom of each of the four buns. Place a patty on top of each and add bacon, avocado, tomato slices and some greens. Serve immediately.
