Baked Stuffed Onions Recipes

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.

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.

• Peel the onions leaving the root end uncut.
• Put the onions in a pot and cover them with water, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
• 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.
• Add salt and pepper to the bread crumb mixture if desired.
• Place the onions in a greased baking dish and fill with stuffing.
• Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of butter.

STUFFED AND BAKED ONIONS

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.

MUSTARDY BAKED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Slice the root off each onion to create a flat bottom, then carefully peel, leaving the onion whole. Cut a deep cross in the top of each, then poke in a sprig of rosemary, dot with butter and place in a roasting tray. Pour a little of the balsamic vinegar over each one and season. Wrap the tray in foil and bake in the oven for 30 mins. Meanwhile, mix together the mustard and sugar and set aside.
• Remove the tray from the oven, take off the foil and spoon a little of the mustard mixture onto each onion. Return to the oven for 15 mins, uncovered, to caramelise.

STUFFED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In an 8-by-8 baking dish, arrange onions cored side up. Pour broth in bottom of pan. Cover pan tightly with foil. Bake onions until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from liquid. Drain hot liquid from pan; return onions to pan, cored side up. Set aside.
• In a medium skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chopped onions; cook, stirring, until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes or more.
• Remove from heat; add bread, cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine.
• Fill hollowed onions with chopped-onion mixture (press with back of spoon to pack tightly). Top with more cheese, if desired. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

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.
• 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 ONIONS

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.

JAMIE OLIVER'S WORLD'S BEST BAKED ONIONS

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.
