BALSAMIC-BAKED ONIONS AND POTATOES WITH ROAST PORK



Balsamic-Baked Onions and Potatoes with Roast Pork image

This dish has attitude - it uses a lot of balsamic vinegar but, trust me, it works really well! The onions and potatoes are baked in the vinegar, making them crispy, dark, sticky and sweet. I've chosen to serve them with roasted pork, but beef or lamb works just as well. I prefer red onions for their color and sweetness.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 1/2 pounds medium-sized waxy potatoes (all-purpose), peeled and quartered lengthwise
Olive oil
7 ounces butter, cubed
1 bunch fresh rosemary, leaves picked and chopped
1 whole bulb garlic, quartered or smashed
5 medium red onions, peeled and quartered
1 1/2 cups cheap balsamic vinegar
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small bunch fresh rosemary, leaves picked and finely chopped
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons freshly ground fennel seeds
One 3 1/2-pound boneless rolled pork loin, preferably free-range or organic, skin off, fat scored in a crisscross pattern
Olive oil
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium red onion, peeled and quartered
2 stalks celery, trimmed and chopped
4 bay leaves
2 wine glasses white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the potatoes into a pan of boiling, salted water and cook for around 8 minutes, then drain and return to the pan. Chuff them up a bit by shaking the pan.
  • To prepare the meat, scatter a handful of finely chopped rosemary leaves over a large chopping board. Sprinkle over some salt and pepper and the ground fennel seeds. Roll the pork across the board, pressing down hard so all the flavorings stick to it.
  • Get a large roasting pan that your pork will fit snugly into, and place it on a burner over a medium-high heat. Pour in a little olive oil and place the pork in, fat side down, sprinkled with any flavorings remaining on the board. After a few minutes, when the pork fat is lightly golden, turn it over and add the garlic cloves, onion, celery and bay leaves to the pan. Place on the bottom shelf of your preheated oven for 1 hour, basting it halfway through. (For the last 20 minutes of cooking, you may need to cover the pork with a bit of damp waxed paper to stop it coloring too much.)
  • Get another roasting pan, into which you can fit the potatoes in 1 layer, and heat it on the stove. When hot, pour a glug of olive oil into it and add the butter, rosemary and garlic. Add the potatoes and toss them in all the flavors. Add the onions and all the balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes on the burner to reduce the balsamic vinegar a little. Place the pan on the top shelf and cook for around 50 minutes, until the potatoes and onions are dark, sticky and crispy - removing the pan to toss the onions and potatoes halfway through.
  • After 1 hour, the meat should be cooked. Prick it with a sharp knife - if the juices run clear, it's done; if not, pop it back in the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, keeping the potatoes warm. Remove it from the oven and let it rest on a plate for 10 minutes. Pour away most of the fat from the pan and mash up the garlic and onion. Place the pan over the burner and add the white wine. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, scraping all the meaty, marmitey goodness off the bottom to make a tasty little sauce, and season if necessary. Pass through a sieve into a serving pitcher. Then slice the pork and serve it with your incredible baked onions and potatoes, drizzled with the pan juices. This meal goes great with some nice greens or an arugula salad.

JAMIE OLIVER'S WORLD'S BEST BAKED ONIONS



Jamie Oliver's World's Best Baked Onions image

I found this recipe on The Splendid Table website. What I am posting here is an adaptation of the adaptation I found there of a recipe for Baked Onions from 'Happy Days with the Naked Chef' by Jamie Oliver. Sounds well-worth trying. Baked onions are a great accompaniment to roasts. To significantly reduce the fat content, use a low-fat or reduced fat cream.

Categories     Onions

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 white onions, tennis-ball-sized, peeled
olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, lower leaves picked and chopped
8 tablespoons heavy cream
grated parmesan cheese
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
4 slices pancetta or 4 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Boil the onions in plenty of water for 15 minutes or until slightly tender.
  • Remove the onions from the pan and allow to cool.
  • With a sharp knife, remove the top inch of each onion, finely chop and place to one side.
  • Slightly trim the stalk end of the onions so that the onions will sit flat on a roasting tray.
  • Taking care to keep the outside of each onion intact, cut about a heaped tablespoon of onion out from the inside of each onion.
  • Finely chop these removed sections of the onion and add to the rest of the chopped onion.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Heat a saute pan and add a little olive oil, the garlic, the chopped onions, and just a little of the chopped rosemary.
  • Saute for a couple of minutes until the garlic and onion have softened, then turn the heat down, add the cream and remove the onions and garlic from the heat.
  • Stir in the Parmesan and season.
  • Wrap a slice of pancetta around the middle of each onion and spike it in place with a sharpened twig of rosemary or a wooden toothpick.
  • Place the onions on a roasting tray and spoon some of the chopped onion mixture inside each one.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for around 25 minutes until the onions are soft and tender.
  • How long this takes is, of course, dependent on the size of the onions. "It's cool to experiment with different cheeses, so give it a bash," says Jamie.
  • I presume he is suggesting topping the baked onions with cheese.
  • When the onions are cooked right through, remove and serve.

BALSAMIC-BAKED ONIONS AND POTATOES (JAMIE OLIVER)



Balsamic-Baked Onions and Potatoes (Jamie Oliver) image

From JAMIE AT HOME by Jamie Oliver. A must-try for all who love great spuds. Pair with roast pork, lamb or chicken. Jamie has this cooking on the top shelf of his oven while he does his roast pork underneath. I made this dish to accompany grilled lamb chops, so I baked it in the middle of the oven.
