BAKED ONIONS AU GRATIN

CREAMED ONION GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a gratin dish or medium casserole.
• Cut off the root and tip of the onions. Slice in half length-wise and peel. Lay the cut-side of the onion down and slice length-wise into thick wedges.
• In a Dutch oven or heavy pot, melt two tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 40 minutes. Add the sherry and simmer until it evaporates. Remove the onions from the pan and pour through a fine mesh sieve. Let them drain while making the bechamel sauce. (Draining the onions prevents a runny gratin because the onions will continue to release more liquid in the oven.)
• In the same Dutch oven, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for one minute. Add the scalded milk and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce is very thick. Remove from the heat. Fold in the Gruyere and stir until completely melted. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the onions to the cheese sauce and toss to thoroughly coat. Pour the onion mixture into the gratin dish.
• Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and toss with the panko crumbs. Sprinkle over the top of the onions and bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.

GRATIN OF ONIONS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan mix together the onions, stock, grits, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and cook gently for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring the mixture two or three times to prevent it from sticking to the pan, until the onions and grits are very tender.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 6-cup gratin dish with about 1/4 teaspoon of the butter and add the remainder of the butter to the onion mixture. Using a hand blender or a food processor, puree the onion-and-grits mixture until it is smooth, and then pour it into the prepared dish. Sprinkle with the cheese.
• Place the gratin in the oven for about 15 minutes if the mixture is still warm when it goes into the oven, or about 30 minutes if the mixture has cooled. If the top needs additional browning, place the gratin under a hot broiler for a few minutes before serving.

FOUR-ONION GRATIN

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks, large onions, shallots and garlic and sauté until all are tender, about 20 minutes. Add baby onions and cook 10 minutes longer, stirring occasionally. Mix in 2 cups whipping cream. Boil until cream is thickened to sauce consistency, about 10 minutes. Transfer vegetable-cream mixture to 6-cup shallow baking dish. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Return mixture to room temperature before continuing.)
• Preheat oven to 425°F Sprinkle breadcrumbs over onion mixture. Bake until breadcrumbs are golden brown and onion mixture bubbles, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
