Yes – it’s a great refrigerator clean out dish at the end of the week when you’re looking for what to make with one carrot, onion, pepper, etc. Add in a potato, parsnip, or corn, too. Also see my recipes for caramelized shallots and caramelized onions.
I add 1 tbsp water, cover and cook the vegetables on extremely low heat, or turn off the heat while I’m finishing cooking tri tip in oven or whatever else is for dinner.

Meat thermometer recommendations
Every home chef needs a reliable meat thermometer to cook food perfectly.
On Sip Bite Go, you’ll often see me using:
- Meater thermometer – a fancy wireless thermometer that connects to a phone app – gifted to me from a Traeger partnership.
- ThermoPro digital thermometer – which has a wire that connects the thermometer to a display box outside the oven/grill.
It’s like being psychic! The great thing about either of the thermometers above is that I don’t have to take the food out of the oven to know the temperature.
How to use ‘em… What I do is stick the digital thermometer in steak, pork, chicken, whatever… Then put the food in the oven, on the smoker, or grill.
While the meat cooks, it reads the temperature so I know exactly what temp meat is as it’s cooking. Without having to take it out and check. It’s really difficult to overcook food when you know exactly what temp it is inside!

I googled what can I do with carrots and onions, this recipe came up and I sure am glad. What a nice clean out the fridge recipe this is. I didn’t have a fresh jalapeño so I subbed in a pickled one, gave it a little heat. Again thanks for the recipe.
