Vidalia onions create a lively side dish that everyone will love. From Prevention® Healthy Cooking.

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Side Dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Vidalia or sweet onions
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
2 medium zucchini, shredded
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
3 tablespoons Progresso™ plain dry bread crumbs
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped toasted pine nuts
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a small baking pan with foil.
  • Cut 1/2" off the top of each onion; slightly trim the bottoms so that the onions stand upright. Place the onions, cut side up, in the prepared baking pan and coat with cooking spray. Bake for 1 hour, or until soft. Set aside for 15 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Remove and discard the onion peels. Using a spoon, scoop out the onion centers, leaving a 1/2" shell. Chop the centers and reserve 1 cup for the stuffing; save the remainder for another use.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini, garlic, thyme, basil, and the 1 cup chopped onions. Cook for 6 minutes, or until the zucchini is softened and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and stir in the bread crumbs, pine nuts, 2 1/2 tablespoons of the cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • Divide the filling among the onion shells. Place the onion shells in the same baking pan and top with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minute, or until golden.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Vidalia onions are the best choice for this recipe because they are sweet and have a mild flavor. However, you can use other types of onions, such as yellow or white onions, if you prefer.
  • Cook the onions properly: To ensure that the onions are cooked through but still retain their shape, it is important to cook them over medium heat. If you cook them over high heat, they will brown too quickly and become tough.
  • Don't overstuff the onions: When stuffing the onions, be careful not to overstuff them. Otherwise, the filling will be too loose and will fall out when you bake the onions.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to use a variety of vegetables in the filling. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, celery, and mushrooms.
  • Season the filling well: Be sure to season the filling well with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.

Conclusion:

Broccoli stuffed Vidalia onions are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The onions are filled with a flavorful mixture of broccoli, cheese, and bread crumbs. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
