STUFFED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a Dutch oven, bring a small amount of water to a boil. Peel onions; using a slotted spoon, place onions in boiling water. Cook for 4-6 minutes more until softened; remove and let stand until cool enough to handle. Cut a 1/4-in. slice off the top of each onion. Remove center, leaving a 1/2-in shell. Chop centers and tops of onions; set aside. In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp; remove to paper towel to drain. In the drippings, saute chopped onion until tender. Stir in bread crumbs and parsley. Add the butter and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms are tender. Add bacon, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stuff onion shells; place in an ungreased shallow 1-qt. baking dish. Pour broth around onions. Bake, uncovered, until tender, 45 minutes, basting frequently during the first 15 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.

BAKED STUFFED ONION

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.

• 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.

• Remove the onions from the pot and cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut off one quarter of the onion removing the root, scoop out a third of the inside (discard or use in some other recipe).
• Mix the bread crumbs, parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, green onion and 2 tablespoons of butter.

BAKED STUFFED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Trim the ends of the onions, leaving the skins on, and cut them in half horizontally. Put the onions, cut-side up, in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the oil; scatter the thyme sprigs over the top and season with salt and pepper. Add 2 cups of water, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake, basting with the pan juices until the edges of the onions are browned, about 45 minutes to 1 hour more. (Add more water if pan is running dry.) Remove from the oven and cool.
• Smash the garlic clove with the side of a cook's knife. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat, add the garlic and stir until golden, about 3 minutes. Remove the garlic and discard. Working in batches, add the spinach, stirring to wilt before each addition. When all the spinach has been added, raise the heat to high, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cover and cook until fully wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain the spinach in a colander. When cool enough to handle, squeeze as much liquid from the spinach as possible and coarsely chop.
• Lower the oven heat to 350 degrees F.
• Scoop out the center of each onion, leaving at least half an inch of the outer rings, to make onion "bowls". Coarsely chop half of the onion centers, and reserve the remaining for another use. In a mixing bowl combine the chopped onion, spinach, lemon zest, eggs, cayenne, breadcrumbs, chopped thyme, and feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture evenly among the scooped-out onions. Drizzle the tops with the remaining olive oil and bake for 30 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

BAKED STUFFED SWEET ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel onions; slice 1/2 inch from top of each, and discard. Slice just enough from the root end so that onions stand upright. Using a melon baller, hollow out the insides, leaving a 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick shell. Set aside. Finely chop removed parts, and set 1 cup chopped onion aside. Discard remaining onion or reserve for another use.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Gently submerge onion shells, and boil 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; transfer to a wire rack to dry.
• Make the stuffing: In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add reserved chopped onions, and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add mushrooms and ham, and season with salt and pepper; cook until mixture is browned, about 5 minutes. Add Madeira; deglaze pan, stirring with a wooden spoon to loosen any brown bits on bottom. Remove from heat, and transfer to a small mixing bowl; let cool slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Add parsley and Gruyere cheese, and stir to combine.
• Fill boiled onion shells with stuffing. Place in a small roasting pan; drizzle with remaining tablespoon oil. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake until tender, about 50 minutes; remove foil after 40 minutes to allow stuffing to brown.

• Place the butter in a preheated saucepan and melt the butter down (on low heat).
• Once the butter is melted down, add the plain flour.
• Stir well and cook the mixture of butter and plain flour which should go a bit lumpy and dry at this stage.
• Very important that you cook this well (2-4 minutes).
• Remove from heat and slowly, very slowly add the milk and stir constantly.
• Add paprika for a bit of extra kick.
• For the onions: remove skins from onions and boil in a large quantity of salted water, uncovered, for ten minutes.
• Drain and turn upside down to cool.
• Remove centers of onions, leaving a shell sufficiently thick to retain its shape.
• Chop the removed onion and combine with remaining ingredients except cracker crumbs.
• Stuff onion shells with this mixture, sprinkle with cracker crumbs and bake in a 350F oven for about 40 minutes or until onions are tender.

FETA STUFFED ROASTY ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170C. Peel the onions leaving them whole, removing the first layer of onion as you peel. Cut them in half across the middle and remove several layers from the centre of each using a teaspoon. Fill any holes with a small slice of onion taken from the centre layers. Arrange onion halves, cut side up in a small ovenproof dish. Pour a splash of water into the dish and brush the onions with some of the oil. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 45-50 minutes until they are tender.
• Meanwhile, finely chop the inner layers. Heat the remaining oil in a medium sized saucepan and fry the chopped onion, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until soft and beginning to brown, leave to cool.
• Mix the cooled chopped onions in a bowl with half the feta, the breadcrumbs, chilli, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped thyme and parsley,walnuts, beaten egg and some salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir well until everything's combined.
• Increase the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Divide the feta stuffing between the onions, then scatter over the remaining cheese and sprinkle over a few thyme sprigs. Drizzle over a little oil from the tomato jar and cook for 25 minutes until the stuffing is bubbling and the feta is golden brown.
