Stuffed Parsleyed Onions Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Peel onions and cut 1/2 in. off tops and bottoms. Place onions in a large saucepan. Cover with boiling water. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes; drain. , Cool slightly. Carefully remove inside layers of onion, separating into eight individual shells (refrigerate remaining onion for another use). Drain on paper towels. , In a skillet, cook beef and sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add spinach; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the remaining ingredients. Spoon into the onion shells. , Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until heated through and lightly browned.

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.

Steps:

• Pulse bread in a food processor to coarse (pea-size) crumbs. Spread breadcrumbs on a rimmed baking sheet and let stand at room temperature until stale, at least 12 hours and up to 1 day. (You can also quickly dry out breadcrumbs on a rimmed sheet by baking them in a 225°F oven, stirring once, until dry and beginning to crisp but not develop color, 25 to 30 minutes.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim root ends of onions just enough to stand upright but remain intact. Cut top inch off of onions and scoop out several layers from centers with a teaspoon or melon baller; finely chop removed layers and reserve for stuffing mixture (you should have about 1 1/2 cups).
• Arrange onions, hollowed-sides up, in a baking dish just large enough to hold them snugly side-by-side. Pour a few tablespoons of water into dish. Drizzle onions with oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Cover dish with parchment-lined foil. Bake 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until tender but still holding shape, 20 to 25 minutes more. Remove from oven; increase temperature to 425°F.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium-low. Add reserved chopped onion and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; let cool slightly. In a food processor, pulse breadcrumbs and parsley just to combine and break down parsley (do not over-process; crumbs should still be coarse). Transfer to bowl with onion mixture, along with lemon zest and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; stir to combine and season to taste. Divide stuffing evenly among onions and drizzle with more oil.
• Roast until stuffing is golden brown on top, about 25 minutes (if bottoms become dry, add a few more tablespoons water to dish; if tops are browning too quickly, tent with foil). Serve warm.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil.
• Peel the onions and cut them in half along the equator. Cut the bottoms slightly so that the onions can sit cut-side up steadily. Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop the centers out of the onions, leaving about 1/4-inch (or 1 layer of onion) as the shell and reserving the scooped flesh. (The onions should look like little bowls.) Place the hollowed-out onions in the baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over them and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast the onions until they are soft and brown on the tops, about 30 minutes. Let rest until cool enough to handle. (Leave the oven on.)
• Meanwhile, roughly chop the reserved onion flesh. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to brown, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, or more if desired. Reduce the heat to medium and let the onions cook until they are very soft and brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup wine into the skillet and scrape up any brown bits. Let the wine cook out, then transfer the onions to a large bowl to cool slightly.
• Add and combine the sausage with the caramelized onions. Mix in the panko, thyme, garlic, half the Parmesan, half the parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
• Use a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop or measuring cup to add a heaping half cup of the sausage mixture to each roasted onion. They should be mounded; press everything in to keep it together. Pour the stock and remaining 1/2 cup wine into the bottom of the baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the onions from the oven, remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on the tops of the onions, then bake until the cheese is melted and browning and the sausage is browned, another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, then sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve warm.

Steps:

• Mix the soaked baguette, garlic, parsley, one of the diced onions, the eggs, and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste in a medium bowl.
• Season the outside and the pocket of the veal with salt and freshly ground pepper. Place the stuffing in the veal pocket. Using skewers or large toothpicks, close off the pocket to seal in the stuffing.
• Heat a thin film of oil in a heatproof casserole large enough to hold the veal, and slide the stuffed veal on top. Sear the veal on all sides until golden brown, then remove to a plate.
• Spoon the remaining onions, the carrots, tomatoes, and ginger into the casserole. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and cook until the onions are translucent. Return the veal to the casserole, and add enough water to cover the veal halfway. Simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours, or until tender.
• Cool, and refrigerate overnight. The next day, remove the fat that has accumulated, and slice the veal with its stuffing. Heat the veal slices in the veal juices with the vegetables for about 20 minutes, or until heated through and serve on a plate with green beans and onions (see page 315).

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.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high. Make a lengthwise cut into each onion from the top to root end, slicing only halfway through to the middle of the onion. (This will make it easier to separate the layers.) Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer briskly until the onions are softened through the middle and the layers separate easily, about 25 minutes. Transfer onions to a cutting board and let cool.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a baking sheet and toast until lightly golden, 6 to 7 minutes; transfer to a plate to cool. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine saffron and lemon juice, and let sit.
• Separate the onion layers until just the centers remain. (You may have to trim the root ends a bit more if the layers don't completely separate.) Cut the 2 largest outer layers from each onion in half for 12 equal pieces, then count out more of the inner layers for a total of 20 to 24 stuffed onions. (The number will vary depending on the size of onions.) Finely chop the remaining onion centers and any remaining onion layers to make 1 cup; a little less or more is OK.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a high-sided, 12-inch ovenproof skillet with a lid over medium. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 minutes. Stir in rice and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, and stir until evenly coated. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, the pepper, saffron-lemon juice, cinnamon stick, cumin, cardamom and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over high, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until the liquid is just absorbed, about 3 minutes (rice will still be undercooked). Stir in toasted almonds, pistachios, raisins, cherries and parsley.
• Spoon 2 tablespoons of the rice mixture in the center of each onion layer so that the onion loosely covers the filling. (Rice will expand; bundles should be partly open.) Scrape out and discard any remaining rice (or reserve for future use) and clean out the skillet.
• Coat the bottom of the skillet with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and arrange onions seam side up in a single layer. Add 1 cup of water to the pan, season onions with salt and pepper, and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Bring to a boil over high, cover tightly and transfer to the oven to bake until all the liquid has been absorbed, rice is cooked through and onions are tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.
• Garnish with parsley and drizzle with oil. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Peel onions and cut a slice from top and bottom; chop slices and set aside.
• Cook onions in boiling water 15-20 minutes till tender but not mushy.
• Cool.
• Remove center of onion, leave shells intact; reserve onion centers for another use.
• Set aside shells.
• Heat Italian dressing in medium pan add chopped onion and red pepper, and zucchini, and cook till tender, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat; stir in breadcrumbs and next 4 ingredients.
• Fill each onion shell with 1/2 cup of mixture; place filled shells in 8 inch square dish sprayed with vegetable spray.
• Cover and bake 350F for 20 minutes.
• uncover and bake another 5 minutes.
• Garnish.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy-based pan and gently fry the onions and garlic until lightly coloured. Add the peppers, cover and warm over a gentle heat for 8-10 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Continue to cook, uncovered, until the peppers are tender and the liquid is reduced to a thick sauce. Serve warm.

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.

Steps:

• Boil the onions:
• Fill a medium pot with enough water to cover the onions and bring to a boil. Add whole onions, return to a boil, and cook until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove onions to a colander, drain, and let stand until cool enough to handle. Cut a 1/2-inch wedge from the outside to the core of each onion, then carefully peel 5 outer layers from each onion and reserve; chop the onion wedges and core, and reserve separately.
• Make the stuffing:
• In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the lamb, anchovies, salt, and pepper and cook, breaking meat up with a wooden spoon, until lamb is no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the spices and 1 cup broth; cook, stirring, until evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer lamb mixture to a rimmed baking sheet and cool slightly; cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator, transfer to a bowl, and add parsley, cilantro, and 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses.
• Stuff and bake the onions:
• Preheat the oven to 250°F. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining broth and pomegranate molasses with the tomato paste. Wrap one onion layer around about 2 to 3 tablespoons filling and arrange seam-side down in a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Repeat with remaining onion layers and filling.
• Pour liquid over stuffed onions, cover with foil, and roast until tender and some of the liquid is absorbed, 2 hours (you can roast for up to 3 additional hours for softer, more savory onions). Remove from oven and uncover. Preheat broiler and broil until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. To serve, drizzle with oil, and garnish with pomegranate seeds, parsley, and cilantro.

Steps:

• Cut the stem off each onion, so that they will stand upright.
• Cut about 1/2" slice from top of each onion.
• In a medium pot, with about 1" of water, gently boil onions, stem end down.
• Simmer them covered about 20 minutes or until tender.
• When done, transfer onions with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with several layers of paper towels, drain.
• Then hollow out the insides of each onion (can use a melon baller), leaving 1/2" walls& bottom.
• Reserve shells& onion centers.
• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Finely chop the onion centers& set aside.
• Spray and heat a large non-stick frying pan with Pam.
• Add 1/2 of the chopped onion, sausage& garlic.
• You can discard or reserve the remaining onions for another recipe, if you like.
• Cook mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently so that you break up the sausage (about 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned).
• Stir in bread crumbs, juice, sage, parsley& orange zest.
• Remove from heat.
• Spoon 1/4 of the sausage mixture into each onion shell.
• Arrange stuffed onions in a medium sized casserole dish.
• Leave enough room to pour 1 cup of water in there.
• Bake 30 minutes, until lightly browned.
