SAUSAGE STUFFED ONION

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 medium to large red onions
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 cup white wine
1 pound sweet or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil.
  • Peel the onions and cut them in half along the equator. Cut the bottoms slightly so that the onions can sit cut-side up steadily. Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop the centers out of the onions, leaving about 1/4-inch (or 1 layer of onion) as the shell and reserving the scooped flesh. (The onions should look like little bowls.) Place the hollowed-out onions in the baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over them and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast the onions until they are soft and brown on the tops, about 30 minutes. Let rest until cool enough to handle. (Leave the oven on.)
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the reserved onion flesh. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to brown, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, or more if desired. Reduce the heat to medium and let the onions cook until they are very soft and brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup wine into the skillet and scrape up any brown bits. Let the wine cook out, then transfer the onions to a large bowl to cool slightly.
  • Add and combine the sausage with the caramelized onions. Mix in the panko, thyme, garlic, half the Parmesan, half the parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop or measuring cup to add a heaping half cup of the sausage mixture to each roasted onion. They should be mounded; press everything in to keep it together. Pour the stock and remaining 1/2 cup wine into the bottom of the baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the onions from the oven, remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on the tops of the onions, then bake until the cheese is melted and browning and the sausage is browned, another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, then sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve warm.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Time 1h40m

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 small-to-medium red onions
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage
1/3 cup grated tart green apple, such as Granny Smith
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
3/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese (3 ounces)

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice off tops and bottoms of onions, leaving at least a 2-inch diameter exposed at the top. Scoop out the inside of each onion (about halfway down) using a melon baller or a spoon. Season insides with salt. Transfer onions to a baking dish, and cover with parchment, then foil. Bake until just starting to soften, about 1 hour.

  • Drain sausage mixture, reserving juices in a medium bowl. Finely chop sausage mixture, and add to bowl. Stir in breadcrumbs, parsley, sage, and 1/4 cup Gruyere. Let cool.
  • Fill onions with stuffing (about 3 tablespoons each), then top with remaining 1/2 cup Gruyere. Bake until tops are crisp and brown, about 20 minutes more.

Tips for Making Italian Sausage Stuffed Onions:

  • Choose the Right Onions: Select large, firm onions with intact skins. Yellow, white, or red onions work well.
  • Prepare the Onions Properly: Cut the tops off the onions and scoop out the centers, leaving about 1/2-inch-thick walls. Reserve the onion tops for later.
  • Make a Flavorful Sausage Mixture: Use a combination of sweet and hot Italian sausage for a balanced flavor. Add breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and seasonings for a cohesive mixture.
  • Stuff the Onions Generously: Fill the onion cavities with the sausage mixture, pressing it in firmly. Replace the onion tops to keep the filling contained.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the stuffed onions in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour or until the onions are tender and the sausage is cooked through.
  • Enhance the Flavor with Sauce: Add a layer of tomato sauce or marinara sauce to the bottom of the baking dish before placing the stuffed onions. This adds moisture, richness, and extra flavor to the dish.
  • Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese on top of the baked stuffed onions before serving. Serve hot with additional sauce, if desired.

Conclusion:

Italian Sausage Stuffed Onions are an easy-to-make yet impressive main course or side dish that combines the robust flavors of Italian sausage, tender onions, and a flavorful tomato sauce. Prepare this dish for a hearty and satisfying meal that will please everyone at your table.
