Try sweet onions sliced into rings and served in a salad garnished with fruit.
Are you an aficionado of onions? Put local sweet onions to a taste test this week. Onions from Kula and
Kunia share a sweet
dispositionThe new Kunia Grown sweets are on sale at Star for $1.19 a pound. They're advertised as "Maui Type!" and sweet enough to eat raw in salads. Compare them with Kula Grown Maui onions for the bargain-basement price of 97 cents a pound at Sack N Save for Maika'i Club members ($1.99 to nonmembers).
Or, if you can't grasp the concept of "sweet" and "onions" together, regular old yellow onions are 58 cents a pound at Daiei and 69 cents to Safeway Club members (89 cents to everyone else).
Chicken is also a good deal this week -- roast, grill or broil some with a few of those onions alongside. Simply halve the onions, baste lightly with oil and set them on the grill or in the baking pan. They make an easy accompaniment that cooks up right along with the main dish.
Whole chickens are 77 and 88 cents to Maika'i members at Sack N Save and Foodland, respectively ($1.19 for nonmembers), and 79 cents at Star.
Boneless, skinless breasts are $2.24 a pound at Safeway (25 cents more to non-club members); boneless, skinless thighs are $1.68 a pound at Foodland ($2.29 to non-Maika'i members). Whole legs are 99 cents a pound at Star and split half breasts are $1.68 a pound at Daiei.
