What dishes can I make with onions as the main ingredient?

I have about 10 pounds (don't ask) of onions and I need some ideas!

They are yellow onions BTW.

French onion soup, mujadarrah, anything with caramelized onions, which you can make ahead of time and freeze.

The obvious: French onion soup. Also, caramelized onions that you can then freeze and add to future dishes or put on top of a tart.

South Asian food. You can use about 1 onion/lb of meat you're cooking. Most dishes involve a variation of this process: Brown the onion in oil, add garlic, ginger, and various spices. Simmer. Add meat. Once the meat is no longer pink, add some yogurt or tomatoes. Simmer until the meat is tender and the food looks yummy.

I'd make a whole shit ton of sauteed onions then freeze them in small plastic bags or ice cube trays for later use. I do this sometimes with garlic and it's so convenient!

I also like the onion soup idea.

Actually the tomato is the main ingredient, but damn this is the best soup and so, so easy. Double it and use 2 onions.

My mom once made an onion and leek gratin--kind of like scalloped potatoes but with just onions. Really good.

If you like sausage, I'd be happy to post a fabulous stuffed onion recipe.

Would it still taste great without the bread? If not, what kind do you use? Thanks!

I've made a cartelized onion and goat cheese tart. Yum! And you use a ton of them. Oh, and Alice Waters has a great recipe for onion gratin.

I've done it without the bread and it's delicious. When I've done it with bread, I used a stale baguette. Once I really desperate and threw in some toasted wheat bread.
