Stuffed Onions Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 medium onions
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 stalks celery (minced)
• 1 Italian sausage (casing removed)
• 1/2 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced small)
• 1 teaspoon dried sage (crumbled)
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup coarse breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup chicken stock

Instructions

1. 1

   Core onions: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Slice a ¼-inch thick slice from the top of each onion. Trim the bottom, if needed, so that the onions sit upright. Use a spoon to scoop out all but 3 layers of the onion. Reserve the bits you scoop out.

2. 2

   saute onions: Mince ½ cup of the reserved onion bits. (Save the rest for a different recipe.) Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and saute until they're soft, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   cook sausage: Add the sausage and break it up as it cooks. When it is no longer pink, add the minced apple, sage, and salt and saute for 2 minutes more.

4. 4

   make stuffing: Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs and chicken stock.

5. 5

   bake onions: Divide the sausage stuffing between the hollowed-out onions then place them into a baking dish. Pour ¼ cup of water into the baking dish then cover the top with foil. Bake the onions for 30 minutes then remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the onions are soft and the top of the stuffing starts to brown.
