Best Stuffed Onions For The Grill Recipes

SAUSAGE STUFFED ONION

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.

STUFFED ONIONS

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.

GRILLED BLUE CHEESE STUFFED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut off enough from the bottom of the onion for it to sit flat. Scoop out 1/3 of the flesh starting from the top of the onion. Fill the core with blue cheese.
• Wrap the onion in aluminum foil and grill, blue cheese-side-up, until tender, about 40 minutes.

VEGGIE STUFFED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Slice off the top third of each onion and set aside; save tops. Slice an "X" in the inner 2/3 off each onion. Using a spoon remove the inside of the onion forming a bowl. Dice the removed inner section of the onions and set aside.
• In a medium bowl combine the vegetable medley, diced onion, herb garden seasoning and cheese. Evenly divide the mixture into each onion bowl. Top each filled onion with a tablespoon of butter.
• Cover the onion with its original top. Wrap with 2 layers of foil and place on the grill or in a preheated 400 degree F oven. Grill or bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until onions are tender.

GRILLED SCALLOP-STUFFED SWEET ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place onions in their skins in an 11 1/2-by-8-inch metal baking pan. Rub onions with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover pan tightly with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil. Roast until onions are tender, but still retain their shape, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove onions from baking pan, reserving pan; let stand until cool enough to handle.
• Cut off the top third of each onion; set aside. Cut a hole in the center of each onion large enough to hold a scallop.
• Place baking pan on the stove over high heat. Add sake, and stir using a wooden spoon, scraping up the browned bits. Add onion centers, soy sauce, and mirin; cook, stirring, until onions are soft. Pour mixture into a small saucepan; set aside.
• Season scallops with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Reheat sake mixture and season with salt and pepper; keep warm until ready to use.
• Place scallops on grill and cook, turning once, just until grill marks appear on prosciutto, about 30 seconds per side. Wrap each scallop in a piece of prosciutto, enclosing completely. Stuff a scallop into each onion. Top each with 1/2 teaspoon butter, cover with reserved onion tops, and place on grill pan. Cook onions until heated through and skin is blackened, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove blackened skin and divide onions among 4 serving plates. Drizzle each with sake mixture and serve immediately.

STUFFED ONIONS

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.

GRILLED STUFFED ONIONS

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.

BEEF-STUFFED ONIONS

Steps:

• Cut tops off onions and peel them. Scoop out centers to within 1/4 in. of edge; set shells aside. Chop the removed onion; set aside 1/4 cup (refrigerate remaining onion for another use)., In a bowl, combine the beef, bread crumbs, soup, green pepper, oregano, salt, pepper and chopped onion; mix well. Stuff the onions. Arrange in a 9-in. microwave-safe pie plate. In a small bowl, dissolve bouillon in water. Pour over onions.
