Stuffing Stuffed 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 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.
• Bake the onions for 30-40 minutes or until soft.

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:

• 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.

Steps:

• Peel onions and hollow out hole in center for the stuffing.
• Do not make hole completely through the onion.
• Leave about a 1/2 inch shell at the base of the onion.
• Mix together ham, broccoli, bread crumbs and bell pepper.
• Stuff into onion and top with a chunk of butter.
• Sprinkle with cayenne pepper.
• Place onions in crock pot.
• Pour 1/2 cup of water around onions, but not over them.
• Cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours.

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:

• 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:

• Make onion shells:
• Cut a 1/2-inch-thick slice from tops of onions, discarding tops, and trim just enough from bottoms for onions to stand upright. Scoop out all but outer 2 or 3 layers from each using a small ice cream scoop or spoon (don't worry if you make a hole in the bottom), reserving scooped-out onion and onion shells separately.
• Make stuffing:
• Coarsely chop enough scooped-out onion to measure 3 cups.
• Cook bacon in 2 batches in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until crisp, about 10 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving about 1/3 cup fat in skillet.
• Add chopped onion, celery, salt, and pepper to skillet and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, stirring, 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and stir in spinach, bread, cashews, butter, 1 cup stock, and bacon, then cool completely.
• Roast onions:
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Arrange onion shells, open sides up, in a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking pan, then add 1/2cup water and cover pan tightly with foil. Roast onions in middle of oven until tender but not falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Stuff and bake onions:
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
• Transfer shells to a work surface and pour off water in pan. Fill shells with stuffing, mounding it, and return to pan. Reserve 5 to 7 cups stuffing for turkey cavity, then put remaining stuffing in a buttered shallow 3 1/2-quart baking dish and drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup stock. Bake stuffed onions and stuffing in dish in middle of oven, uncovered, until heated through, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread bread on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until very dry and light golden, about 15 minutes. Remove bread and increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter.
• Meanwhile, in a large pot with a lid, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and mixture is dry, about 5 minutes. Stir in thyme leaves and transfer mixture to a large bowl.
• In the same pot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and melt 6 tablespoons of the butter over medium. Add onions and thyme sprig, season with salt and pepper, and stir to evenly coat in the oil and butter. Cover and cook, stirring after 5 minutes, until onions soften and reduce in volume, about 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and cook uncovered, stirring frequently to scrape up browned bits, until onions are very soft and deep golden, about 25 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the onions in a small bowl.
• Add wine to pot and stir until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute. Add broth and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld; discard the thyme sprig. Remove from the heat.
• Add eggs to the mushroom mixture in the large bowl and mix well. Add the bread, then pour over the onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper, and gently toss until well combined. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Top with the reserved onions and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake until stuffing is hot throughout, 30 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until crisp in spots, about 15 minutes longer. Garnish with chives and serve warm.

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.

Steps:

• Peel the white onions. Using a very sharp knife, slice bottom off each so it will sit straight. Slice off the top and hollow out the center with a spoon, leaving four onion layers intact. Chop the removed inner onion.
• Warm butter in a skillet. Add chopped white onion, leeks and shallots and cook slowly until mixture is soft, about 10 minutes. Add salt and cayenne pepper and continue to cook, stirring often, until onions turn gold, about 20 minutes more. Remove from heat; let cool 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Puree onion mixture in a food processor. Drizzle in cream. Stir in bread crumbs and Parmesan. Using a tablespoon, stuff each onion with onion puree. Put in a shallow baking dish, add warmed chicken broth and bake for 1 1/2 hours, basting every half-hour with broth, until soft. Remove from oven and, if serving later, cover with foil. The onions can be reheated, covered, for 7 minutes in a 350-degree oven before serving.

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:

• Using a sharp knife, slice about one-third off the top of each onion, leaving a flat crown. Then remove a small slice from the bottom so it will remain upright in the slow cooker. Using a grapefruit knife or melon baller, carefully scrape out as much of the onion's core as you can without ruining the onion. Place the onions in the slow cooker insert, pour in the water, cover, and cook on low for about 3 hours, or until the onions are somewhat tender when pierced with a paring knife.
• While the onions are cooking, combine the cheeses, olive oil, currants, chopped mint, and pine nuts in a bowl, mix together with a fork, and add a pinch of freshly ground pepper. Remove the cover of the slow cooker and fill each onion with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mixture.
• Recover and continue cooking for about 1 hour longer, or until the cheeses are melted and the onions are very tender and getting brown around the edges. Spoon any liquid in the bottom of the cooker over the onions.
• Garnish each onion with a sprig of fresh mint and serve either hot or at room temperature.
• Suggested Beverage
• Okay, I can't resist. I'd like to suggest a wellchilled glass of retsina with this dish. Even the cheap, generic stuff would do, and probably bring back fond memories of the Greek islands. But several of Greece's new generation of winemakers have experimented with making artisanal retsina, and I'd like to suggest that if you can find one, you buy it and drink it. Gaia Estates' Thalassitis is one I can happily recommend.

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:

• 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.

Steps:

• Cook and stir bacon in medium skillet on medium heat until crisp. Meanwhile, cut thin slice off top of each onion; discard top. Use small spoon to scoop out centers of onions, leaving 1/2-inch-thick shells. Finely chop removed onions.
• Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings in skillet. Drain bacon on paper towels. Add 1/2 cup chopped onions to drippings in skillet. (Reserve any remaining chopped onions for another use.) Cook 5 min. or until onions are crisp-tender. Add chiles and garlic; cook 2 min. Stir in bacon.
• Heat grill to medium heat. Mix cream cheese, shredded cheese and thyme in medium bowl; stir in bacon mixture. Spoon into onion shells. Place 1 on each of 6 large sheets heavy-duty foil; drizzle with dressing. Wrap foil tightly around onions, leaving room for heat circulation inside.
• Grill 25 min. or until onions are tender.
