Ingredients

Onion Marmalade:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 cup julienned yellow onions
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper

For the quesadilla:

  • 1/2 cup pureed parsnip
  • 1 cup assorted julienne grilled vegetables (red onions, peppers, yellow squash, tomatoes, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup grated Maytag white cheddar
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • Olive oil

Garnish:

  • 3 tablespoons grated Maytag white cheddar
  • 1/4 cup cilantro sour cream

Directions

For Onion Marmalade: In a saute pan, over high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and saute until caramelized, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, and rice wine vinegar. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

For Vegetable Quesadilla: Spread 3 tablespoons parsnip puree on 1 tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border. Cover the puree with 1/4 cup of the vegetables. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons White Cheddar. Top with 1 tortilla.

In a saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is smoking hot, carefully lay the quesadilla in the oil. Fry on 1 side until golden brown and flip over and finish cooking, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and continue frying until all the quesadillas are fried. Additional oil may be need for frying.

To assemble cut the quesadillas into 1/4. Arrange on a plate with the onion marmalade and cilantro sour cream. Garnish with grated Maytag white cheddar and chopped parsley.

    This is very good using white cheddar. A little time consuming but worth it. My son and I enjoyed the parsnip puree--we like parsnips and it was nice to eat something creative and not run of the mill just like any old quesadilla. If I make it again I will make twice as much onion marmalade as it called for because that was my favorite part of this dish. A gourmet take on an old favorite.
