These flavorful baked onions are a great accompaniment to grilled meat, writes field editor Karen Owen of Rising Sun, Indiana. They aren't crisp like the deep-fried 'blooming onions' served in restaurants, but we think they are equally delicious. Ingredients:
4 large sweet onions, peeled |
1/4 cup red wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 cup coarsely crushed fat-free salad croutons |
Directions:
1. Place the onions root end up on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 7-9 minutes or until crisp-tender. Invert onto a cutting board. Slice each onion into eight wedges to within 1/2 in. of bottom; fan out. Place each onion on a 12-in. square piece of foil coated with cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, combine vinegar, brown sugar, oregano, salt and pepper. Brush some over onions; set remaining mixture aside. Fold foil around onions; seal tightly.
3. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until tender. Open foil carefully. Place onions on a serving platter. Drizzle with remaining vinegar mixture; sprinkle with croutons. Yield: 4 onions (8 servings).
