Your Jr. Chef can bake whole onions
Wait… aren’t onions used just for ingredients in sauces and salads and mirepois, laying a crunchy slice on your burger and for battering/deep-frying? Sure, but don’t overlook the simplest cooked onion there is: baked whole onions. Cut the root off a whole UNpeeled med-lg onion so it stands up, cut the top off to expose 1 – 2″ of the meat, put in a baking pan, drizzle with a tasty olive oil, sprinkle with s&p. Bake 425˚ about 1 hr (depending on size of onions) until tender and skin is dark and dry protecting the tender insides. Scoop out the onion meat, season (s&p, butter, crème fraîche, balsamic/cherry vinegar, freshly julienned basil, fresh thyme leaves, chopped tarragon, crumbled bleu cheese, milk goat cheese, etc.) and serve OR serve whole and scoop at the table. Serving suggestions: simply as a side dish, good with steak, make onion bruschetta, add to hummus and grain salads. Parental supervision.
