Roasted in the oven or on the grill, these onions are simple and tasty. They taste like French onion soup, and smell great. In college I used to put it on the top of my gas stove! Still delicious just the same. Very very easy and loads of flavor.

Categories     Side Dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Vidalia or sweet onions
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
2 medium zucchini, shredded
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
3 tablespoons Progresso™ plain dry bread crumbs
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped toasted pine nuts
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a small baking pan with foil.
  • Cut 1/2" off the top of each onion; slightly trim the bottoms so that the onions stand upright. Place the onions, cut side up, in the prepared baking pan and coat with cooking spray. Bake for 1 hour, or until soft. Set aside for 15 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Remove and discard the onion peels. Using a spoon, scoop out the onion centers, leaving a 1/2" shell. Chop the centers and reserve 1 cup for the stuffing; save the remainder for another use.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini, garlic, thyme, basil, and the 1 cup chopped onions. Cook for 6 minutes, or until the zucchini is softened and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and stir in the bread crumbs, pine nuts, 2 1/2 tablespoons of the cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • Divide the filling among the onion shells. Place the onion shells in the same baking pan and top with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minute, or until golden.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 vidalia onions
6 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper
Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Get the biggest Vidalias you can find. Peel and cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of the onion so that it sits flat in a casserole dish. Take out a little of the core and cut a bit X in the top of the onion. Place each onion on a large square of aluminum foil.
  • Top with pat of butter, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, to taste. Place in dish and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, or until tender (check on these; you don't want it overcooked and too soft).
  • Variation: Prepare onions as above, but instead of Worcestershire sauce, pour on about 2 Tablespoons of Kahlua before baking. It makes them nice and sweet. You can also put these on a gas grill or nestle them right down into the charcoal (use heavy-duty aluminum foil).

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Onions: Select medium-sized Vidalia onions that are firm and have no blemishes. They should have a sweet flavor and mild aroma.
  • Prepare the Onions: Cut the tops off the onions, leaving about 1 inch of the stem intact. Then, carefully scoop out the centers of the onions, leaving about 1/2 inch of flesh around the edges.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: Cook the chopped vegetables in a pan with butter or oil until they are tender. This will enhance their flavor and add depth to the stuffing.
  • Season the Stuffing: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and seasonings to flavor the stuffing. Common choices include thyme, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Stuff the Onions: Fill the hollowed-out onions with the prepared stuffing, pressing it down gently to ensure it is compact.
  • Bake the Onions: Place the stuffed onions in a baking dish and add some liquid, such as water or broth, to prevent them from drying out. Bake them in a preheated oven until the onions are tender and the stuffing is cooked through.
  • Serve Hot: Stuffed Vidalia onions are best served hot. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or grated cheese for an extra touch of flavor.

Conclusion:

Baked stuffed Vidalia onions are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish.
