Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the onions and trim the ends.
- Make a slit on one side of each onion to allow the flavor to penetrate.
- Place the white bread slices in a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs.
- Finely chop the garlic cloves.
- Roughly chop the walnuts.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, chopped garlic, walnuts, sage, and brown sugar. Mix well to combine.
- In a large oven-proof pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the onions to the pan and cook them, turning occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
- Carefully cut the onions halfway through from the top without cutting all the way through.
- Spoon the bread crumb mixture into each onion, pressing slightly to ensure the filling stays in place.
- Transfer the pan with the stuffed onions to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the onions are tender and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the onions sit for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm as a delightful side dish or a unique appetizer.
Tips:
- Choose medium-sized onions for even cooking and better presentation.
- Toast the white bread slices lightly before chopping them into breadcrumbs for added crunch.
- Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors even more.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, use caramelized onions instead of raw.
- Be sure to finely chop the garlic to ensure it evenly distributes throughout the dish.
- To save time, you can prepare the breadcrumb mixture ahead and store it in the fridge until ready to use.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.
