JAMIE OLIVER'S WORLD'S BEST BAKED ONIONS
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.

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.

Steps:
- Peel the onions, but leave the root end intact. Pour about 2 inches of water into a large saucepan and set up a collapsible steamer inside. Steam the onions until easily pieced by a knife, about 30 minutes. (For more tender onions you may steam them a little longer; however, they might be somewhat harder to hollow out. Either way they're delicious!) Set aside to cool.
- Slice off about a third of the top portion of each onion. Using a paring knife, cut out the insides of each onion, leaving about 4 outside layers intact, to make a container for stuffing. Chop the onion insides and tops.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crispy and the fat has rendered, about 3 minutes. Add the chopped onion, herb sprigs, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Season with pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Add the wine and cook until dry, scrapping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to get up any browned bits, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cream and remove from the heat. Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Stir in the cheese and mustard.
- Lightly butter a baking dish. Season the inside of the onions with salt and pepper, and spoon the stuffing into each onion cavity, mounding it slightly on top. Set the onions in the dish.
- Heat the butter in the skillet. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until they absorb the butter. Spoon the buttered breadcrumbs on top of each onion.
- Roast the onions until well browned and heated through, about 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
BAKED ONIONS WITH VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut barely a sliver off the bottom of each onion so they'll sit without rolling over. Pierce them in a few places with a sharp knife so they won't burst during cooking. Make 4 mounds of coarse salt in a baking dish, and nest an onion in each. Bake the onions 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 325 degrees F and continue baking until the insides are almost applesauce soft, about 1 1/2 hours, depending on the size of the onions.
- To make the dressing: Whisk together the yolk*, garlic, and vinegar, and season with salt, and black pepper. Beat in the oil, drop by drop, to make a thick dressing. Taste, and add lemon juice, if needed. Check the salt and pepper. Stir through the herbs. Cover the vinaigrette, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To serve, set the onions on serving plates (leaving the salt mounds behind). Slit the onions open with a sharp knife, and spoon some vinaigrette into each until it starts bubbling up and out onto the plate. Serve the onions immediately.

Steps:
- Cook onions in a large pot of boiling water until tender but not falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes.
- While onions are cooking, remove leaves from lower 3 inches of each rosemary sprig and chop enough leaves to measure 1/2 teaspoon. Cut sprig ends at an angle to form a point so they can act as skewers.
- Remove onions from pot with a slotted spoon and, when cool enough to handle, cut off top inch of each with a sharp knife and finely chop tops. Trim root end of each onion slightly, if necessary for onions to stand up without rolling. Scoop out about a heaping tablespoon from center of each onion (keeping outside intact) and finely chop, adding to rest of chopped onion. Transfer hollowed onions to an oiled 8-inch square baking dish.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cook chopped onion, garlic, and chopped rosemary in oil in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in cream and remove from heat. Stir in parmesan, sea salt, and pepper to taste.
- Fill whole onions with some of chopped onion mixture and spoon remainder around whole onions.
- Wrap a slice of pancetta around middle of each onion and secure with a rosemary sprig or wooden toothpick.
- Bake onions, uncovered, in middle of oven, until very tender, 40 to 50 minutes depending on size of onions.
