Ingredients

  • 2 small onions, chopped
  • 4 Tbsp. butter or margarine
  • 1 Tbsp. flour
  • 1/2 c. consomme

Method

  • Simmer the onions in half the butter until soft, but not brown.
  • Add the flour. Cook 5 minutes, then add consomme, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce.

  • Peel the pickles and slice very thin.
  • Mix all ingredients with the onion sauce carefully, using a fork.
  • Place all together in a 9 x 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
