Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Side dish, Supper, Vegetable

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium onions
2 tbsp olive oil (or oil from the tomatoes) plus extra for drizzling
200g block of feta cheese , crumbled
50g white or brown breadcrumbs
1 red chilli , seeded and finely chopped
6 pieces of sundried tomatoes in olive oil, drained and chopped
a large pinch of chopped fresh thyme leaves, plus extra sprigs
2 tbsp chopped parsley
50g/2oz walnut pieces, chopped
1 medium egg , beaten

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.

My husband, a pastor, was once paid in onions and potatoes by a little community. That's when I discovered this recipe. Baked with a tasty stuffing, the onions are mellow and tender.-Cathy Gilpin, Alamosa, Colorado

Categories     Side Dishes

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 medium yellow onions (about 2 pounds)
2 bacon strips, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon butter
1-1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash each pepper and ground nutmeg
1/2 cup beef broth
Additional parsley, optional

STUFFED GREEK ONIONS



Stuffed Greek Onions image

Another slow cooker recipe from my Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker cookbook. This recipe recommends Vidalia onions, if you can find them, as they are a bit flatter and sweeter than yellow onions and they are perfect for stuffing. It is recommended that this dish be served with a green salad or sliced tomatoes.

Provided by DailyInspiration

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 4h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 vidalia onions (or yellow onions)
1 cup water
1/2 cup chevre goat cheese
1/2 cup feta cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons currants
1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons pine nuts
fresh ground black pepper
1 sprig of fresh mint (to garnish)

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 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture.
  • Re-cover and continue cooking for about 1 hour longer, or until the cheeses are melted and the onions are very tender and getting brown about 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.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Vidalia or yellow onions, peeled
1 cup water
1/2 cup chèvre
1/2 cup feta cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons currants
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons pine nuts
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Several sprigs fresh mint, for garnish

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.

STUFFED ONIONS



Stuffed Onions image

These elegant onions are stuffed with beautiful saffron-tinged basmati rice. The fluffy rice is infused with fragrant spices and studded with toasted nuts and dried fruit for a vibrant and textured jeweled look. The onion layers and rice can be prepared a day ahead and kept refrigerated. These festive onions are a great accompaniment to any large protein roast (fish, chicken, steak) and make for a stunning vegetarian main dish. Use any mix of preferred chopped dried fruit; apricots, dates and currants are all nice alternatives.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
3 large yellow onions (2 pounds), ends trimmed and peeled
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 teaspoon loosely packed saffron, crumbled
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 cup basmati rice, rinsed until water runs clear
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground green cardamom
1/4 cup shelled salted pistachios, chopped
2 tablespoons golden raisins, chopped
2 tablespoons dried tart cherries, chopped
1/4 cup chopped parsley, plus more for garnish

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.

STUFFED ONIONS



Stuffed onions image

Soft, caramelised, oven-roasted onions stuffed with minced lamb and creamy Greek yogurt, a main course with a difference that's delicious with vegetable pilaf

Provided by Miriam Nice

Categories     Side dish

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 very large onions
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
50g Greek yogurt
50g fresh breadcrumbs
400g lamb mince (20% fat)
1 egg , beaten
1 tsp ground allspice
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
½ small pack mint , chopped
½ small pack flat-leaf parsley , chopped

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.
