Recipe Baked onions

[MypinchofItaly]

Serves 2, Preparation time 10 minutes, Cooking time 20 minutes

• 4 medium-sized white onions
• a clove of peeled garlic
• breadcrumbs to taste
• Grated Parmigiano or Pecorino cheese, to taste
• Evoo oil, 2 tbsp
• a sprig of fresh parsley
• some leaves of fresh thyme
• turmeric powder, a pinch
• salt and pepper, to taste

Method

Start by pre-heating the oven to 180 C.

Remove the first outer layer of the onions and let them blanch in a saucepan with salted water for 5 mins or until they become soft.

Finely chop the clove of garlic, add it to the chopped parsley along with some thyme leaves, a pinch of salt and pepper and a pinch of turmeric powder. Mix them together.

Now cover each onion with this mix and put it in a oily baking dish, side by side to each other.

Add the Evoo oil, a bit of breadcrumbs and some grated Parmigiano on top of each other onions.

Baking to 180 ° for 20 minutes.

During the last 5 minutes of cooking, turn on the oven grill so that the surface becomes au gratin.

Let them cool at room temperature before serving.

Thank you
I have to revise the translation a bit, but I think that after all we understand ...(hope)

They look great.

I've many times tried to make baked onions - but somehow although they look good, mine seems to be not meltingly cooked inside. I don't mean they are raw - but they are not pleasingly soft.

I notice you state 20 mins which is less time than I use (at same oven temperature). Maybe I misunderstand how baked onions should be, texture wise...

They should be soft all the way through. Maybe you are using onions that are too big for the recipe time/temp?

Maybe this is the key part? 'until they become soft'

Yes, but they don't have to become too much soft or during baking in the oven they would become soggy..
I have to adjust a bit the translation, however this step is quite important.
