Only saw the first picture at first and thought…“Why would you put a chop under a gratin?”
Thought Ann had let you loose in the kitchen. 
Is the group buy pizza flour suitable for making pasta?
Looks great

Was yummy.
Started out as a Rick Stein recipe, but then sort of morphed with my mums. So follow this recipe:
Then at least double the amount of paprika, garlic and vinegar, use beef stock instead of water, or chuck in a stock pot thingy, and we used butter instead of lard. The thing he did have right was the enormous amount of onions required.

omelette Arnold Bennett, with wilted kale
Of course,
Its high protein so mix with youre ordinary bread flour if you need to, 50:50 for a good sandwich loaf

The Austrian chap who taught me in 1975 to make goulash (two basic recipes, with encouragement to experiment) was insistent that the weight of onions should match the weight of meat, and that said onions should be fried to a mush (with some salt) before chucking in the meat

I recently discovered about adding a pinch of baking soda to frying onions. Apparently the alkali promotes the maillard reaction, so they turn to brown mush very quickly. I add it once the onions have turned clear and I get impatient for them to brown.

A touch of sugar works very well

It is quite daunting when you see the sheer amount of sliced onions in the pan, but the salt (and I guess the bicarbonate), does help it reduce down nice and quickly, and it caramelises nicely too.
After 3 hours cooking, there was hardly a (physical) trace left.
I made enough to theoretically feed 8 people, so two days worth of meals, except we all had seconds so there’s just enough left for Claire to take to work fo lunch tomorrow.

a spud masher helps, as well
Probably, but we were doing other prep too, so we weren’t in a rush, just let it do it’s thing with the lid on.

FoL brought a few bags of different flavours of paprika back from a trip to Budapest. It was another world from the stuff we can buy here.
