The mildness of sweet onions make them ideal for this delicately hearty side.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 medium sweet onions
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for cooking water
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 ounces (about 9) cremini mushrooms, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 ounces Virginia ham, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons Madeira wine
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup grated (about 2 ounces) Gruyere cheese

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.

SWEET ROASTED ONIONS



Sweet roasted onions image

This vegetarian side dish works well with a Sunday roast. Sweeten the whole onions with balsamic vinegar and maple syrup

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Side dish

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 small red onions , see tip, below
1 ½ tbsp olive oil
1 ½ tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp maple syrup

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut about 1cm off the top and bottom of each onion and peel off the skin. Nestle the onions in a small roasting tin or casserole dish, so that they fit snugly together in a single layer. Drizzle over the oil and balsamic vinegar, season, then get your hands in and toss the onions to coat. Cover the tin with foil and roast for 40 mins until tender.
  • Remove the foil and drizzle over the maple syrup, then return to the oven, uncovered, for 20-30 mins, until the onions are caramelised.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 89 calories, Fat 3 grams fat, Carbohydrate 14 grams carbohydrates, Sugar 11 grams sugar, Fiber 2 grams fiber, Protein 2 grams protein, Sodium 0.1 milligram of sodium

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, are best for this recipe. They have a milder flavor and will caramelize nicely in the oven.
  • Slice the onions evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may burn on the outside before the inside is done.
  • Coat the onions in oil: This will help them brown and caramelize. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or even melted butter.
  • Season the onions: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all classic seasonings for roasted onions. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • Roast the onions at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize quickly. 425°F (220°C) is a good temperature to aim for.
  • Stir the onions occasionally: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Roast the onions until they are tender and browned: This will take about 30-40 minutes. You can check the onions by piercing them with a fork. If they are tender, they are done.

Conclusion:

Roasted sweet onions are a delicious and versatile side dish. They can be served with grilled meats, fish, or poultry. They can also be added to salads, sandwiches, or wraps. They are a great way to add flavor and sweetness to any dish. So, next time you are roasting a chicken or steak, throw some sweet onions in the oven too. You won't be disappointed!
