Pureed Roasted Onions Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the stem end of each onion and carefully slice off the brown part of the root end, leaving the root intact. Peel the onion. Stand each onion root end up on a cutting board and cut the onion in wedges through the root. Place the wedges in a bowl.
• For the dressing, combine the lemon juice, mustard, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Pour the dressing over the onions and toss well.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer the onions to a sheet pan, reserving the vinaigrette that remains in the bowl. Bake the onions for 30 to 45 minutes, until tender and browned. Toss the onions once during cooking. Remove from the oven, and drizzle with the reserved dressing. Sprinkle with parsley, season to taste and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lowest position; heat to 425 degrees.
• Cut onions in half; toss with oil and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Place, cut-side down, on a lipped cookie sheet.
• Roast until tender and cut surfaces are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Adjust seasonings; drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

Steps:

• Melt 5 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and sauté until brown, 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook rutabagas in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-low heat. Add rutabagas; sauté until heated through, about 10 minutes. Drizzle honey over. Gently stir in onions. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm over medium-low heat.)

Steps:

• Slice the onions into very thin rings.
• Place the rings in a pan and pour in cold water to cover.
• Bring to a boil and simmer for two minutes.
• Then drain and refresh under cold water.
• Place half the butter, the star anise and the blanched onions in a large pot over medium heat.
• Sweat for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the two liters of water and chicken wings, then bring to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer.
• After about three hours, the liquid should have reduced down to a syrup.
• If it is reducing too quickly, add some more cold water and lower the heat.
• After three hours, if you are still left with some excess liquid, increase the heat and reduce until only a little remains.
• Leave to cool, then remove the star anise and the chicken and liquidise.
• Pass the resulting purée through a fine-mesh sieve or, for a more rustic finish, leave it as is.
• To serve, stir in cream to taste, whisk in the remaining butter and season with salt.
• It will take a lot of salt, but this is important because it balances out any bitter flavours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut onions into wedges, leaving root ends intact, and peel. Toss in olive oil in a baking pan. Roast until caramelized, about 50 minutes, turning occasionally. Puree in a food processor.
