STUFFED ONIONS

Soft, caramelised, oven-roasted onions stuffed with minced lamb and creamy Greek yogurt, a main course with a difference that's delicious with vegetable pilaf

Provided by Miriam Nice

Categories     Side dish

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 very large onions
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
50g Greek yogurt
50g fresh breadcrumbs
400g lamb mince (20% fat)
1 egg , beaten
1 tsp ground allspice
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
½ small pack mint , chopped
½ small pack flat-leaf parsley , chopped

Steps:

  • Trim the very ends of the onions. Make an incision in each, from top to root, then another 0.5cm along, so you can cut out and discard a thin wedge (like you're discarding a segment of orange). Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the onions. Boil for 10 mins, remove from the water and let cool. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
  • When the onions are cool enough to handle, carefully peel and set aside their outer layers - you want about 12-16 large layers in total, which will become the outer casing for the lamb filling. You can use the smaller, leftover layers in the middle for another recipe.
  • Mix all the stuffing ingredients in a bowl and season well. Shape into 12-16 oval meatballs. Put each one on an onion layer and roll it up to create what looks like a small, peeled onion.
  • Pour half the olive oil into a large, shallow casserole dish or roasting tin, then arrange all the stuffed onions on top in a tight, single layer. Drizzle over the remaining oil and bake for 45 mins. Brush with the molasses and bake for another 15-20 mins until the casings are really soft and dark golden brown. Serve with the root vegetable rice and the herby yogurt dressing on the side.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 head garlic
8 medium yellow onions, unpeeled
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 Yukon gold potatoes, about 1 pound
10 ounces assorted mushrooms, such as chanterelle, shiitake, or oyster, cleaned and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1/4 cup dry white wine
Olive-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Wrap garlic in aluminum foil, and cook until soft, about 45 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut off the top of garlic head, and squeeze flesh into a small bowl; set aside.
  • Cut off top quarter from each onion, and wrap each onion in aluminum foil. Cook onions until soft, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove onions from oven, unwrap, and let cool 15 minutes. Peel, and discard skins. Working from the center of each onion, pull out all but two outer layers, leaving a shell. Place shells in a small baking dish. Measure 3 cups of onion flesh.
  • Place half of the onion flesh in the bowl of a food processor. Add basil, parsley, reserved garlic flesh, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Puree, and set aside.
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Peel potatoes, and cut into 2-inch cubes. Cook potatoes until fork tender, about 20 minutes; drain in a colander.
  • Pass potatoes through a ricer set over a large bowl. Slowly whisk in pureed onion mixture. Set potato filling aside.
  • Coat a small saute pan with cooking spray, and set over medium heat. Add one variety of mushroom. Season with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and slightly golden. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl. Repeat cooking process with remaining mushrooms. Roughly chop remaining onion flesh; stir into mushroom filling.
  • Stuff onion shells with alternating spoonfuls of potato and mushroom fillings. Spray with cooking spray. Add wine to baking dish.
  • Bake stuffed onions until they are soft and golden, about 30 minutes. Let onions cool slightly, and serve warm.

STUFFED AND BAKED ONIONS



Stuffed and Baked Onions image

Takes a little extra work, but well worth the effort. Nice accompaniment for roast beef or roast pork.

Provided by PJ's kitchen

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Onion

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 medium onions
1 tablespoon salad oil, or as needed
1 dash paprika, or to taste
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup light cream
¼ cup chopped black olives
2 tablespoons pecans, chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup dry bread crumbs, or as needed
3 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Peel onions. Cut a thick slice from the top of each one and reserve.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, about 5 minutes. Add onions and cook just until tender, watching carefully, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Carefully remove onions from water and drain upside down. Brush outside of onion shells with oil and sprinkle with paprika.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil a casserole dish.
  • Chop reserved onion tops. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat and add chopped onion. Cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir light cream, olives, pecans, and salt into the skillet. Remove from heat. Spoon onion mixture evenly into the onion shells and place into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle each onion with bread crumbs and drizzle evenly with melted butter. Top each with a dash of paprika.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Medium to large white or yellow onions work best for this recipe. Smaller onions may not hold the stuffing well, while larger onions may be difficult to work with.
  • Trim the tops and bottoms of the onions evenly: This will help them stand upright in the baking dish and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to cut the onions all the way through: You want to leave the layers of the onion intact so that they can hold the stuffing.
  • Parboil the onions before stuffing them: This will help to soften them and make them more tender.
  • Use a variety of vegetables for the stuffing: This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, and spinach.
  • Season the stuffing well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices. Salt and pepper are also essential.
  • Bake the onions until they are tender: This may take about 45 minutes. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center of an onion. If the knife goes in easily, the onion is done.

Conclusion:

Vegetable-stuffed baked onions are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They are also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
