Chicken stuffed onions
15 minutes Preparation time
45 minutes Cooking time
10-12 servings Serves
Ingredients
4 large onions, unpeeled, halved crossways
1.5 kg good-quality chicken sausages, casings removed
2 bunches sage, leaves picked, half finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
150 g fresh breadcrumbs
60 ml extra virgin olive oil
Salt Flakes
To serve
Baby parsley leaves
Miele Accessories
Method
- Pre-heat the Full Grill to 300°C, or Grill setting 3.
- Place onions, cut-side down, on a universal tray and grill on shelf position 5, checking occasionally, for 10 minutes or until the onion skins are burnt. Set aside to cool.
- When cool enough to handle, discard skin and carefully separate the onion layers to make cups (you may need to trim the onion roots to separate layers. This leaves a hole, don’t worry, stuffing won’t fall through). Arrange onion cups, cup-side up, across a paper lined baking tray.
- Pre-heat Oven on Fan Plus at 180°C.
- Combine chicken meat, half the chopped sage, garlic and half teaspoon salt flakes in a bowl and divide among onion cups. Toss breadcrumbs and remaining chopped sage in a bowl and scatter over onions. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and set aside.
- Roast onions for 20 minutes, add the rest of the sage leaves and drizzle with oil. Bake for a further 10 minutes, or until filling is cooked through and breadcrumbs are golden.
- Transfer onions to a serving platter and scatter with salt flakes, crispy sage and baby parsley leaves to serve.
Hints and tips
- Onions can be grilled a day ahead and kept in the refrigerator until required.
