ROAST MEJADRA ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4. Top and tail the onions. Bring a saucepan of water to the boil over a medium heat, add the onions and simmer for about 25 minutes, until tender and easily pierced by the point of a knife.
• Drain the onions and allow to cool slightly. Cut them in half and, using a teaspoon, scoop out and reserve the flesh, leaving three layers intact to form your shells.
• Carefully slice the reserved onion flesh as finely as possible. Heat 4 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large frying pan, add the sliced onion and fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Turn up the heat and cook for another 25 minutes, until the onion is deeply golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper and season well.
• Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4. Wipe the onion pan clean with kitchen towel and add the crushed cumin and coriander seeds. Toast over a medium heat for a couple of minutes, or until fragrant.
• Add the remaining olive oil along with the rice, lentils, turmeric, allspice, cinnamon and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir to coat the rice with oil, then add the stock, bring up to the boil, cover tightly and simmer over a very low heat for 25-30 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove the lid, cover with a tea towel, pop the lid back on and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Stir through the fried onions, toasted almonds and most of the chopped parsley. Season and spoon the mixture into the soft onion shells, filling them generously, then sandwich two sides together and place in an oiled baking dish, spooning any extra filling around the edges.
• Sprinkle over the red wine vinegar and sugar, cover the dish tightly with tinfoil and bake in the oven for 25 minutes, removing the foil for the last 5 minutes. Scatter with the remaining flaked almonds. Serve the stuffed onions warm, with a rocket salad on the side.

OVEN-ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• When roasting a joint such as a leg of lamb, place the meat directly on the oven rack in a preheated 425 degree oven. Place a wide roasting pan on the rack beneath the joint to catch all the fat and drippings.
• Peel the potatoes and place them, whole, in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 5 minutes, then drain. Shake the potatoes roughly in the colander to bruise their sides.
• After the roast has been in the oven at least 20 minutes so that fat and drippings have started to collect in the pan, dump the parboiled potatoes into the drippings. Strip the leaves off one or two sprigs of fresh rosemary and toss them over the potatoes along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Shake the pan well to coat the potatoes in fat and drippings. Continue to cook, occasionally turning the lamb and shaking the potatoes, for at least another hour and up to about 90 minutes, until the roast is cooked and the potatoes are crisply golden-brown outside and tender inside.

ROASTED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Peel and core onions, then slice halfway through. Place onions on sections of aluminum foil large enough to wrap them completely. Place a bouillon cube in the center of each onion; place pat of butter on top. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Wrap the onions in foil.
• Roast in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

ROASTED RADISHES WITH ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place radishes and onion in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with lemon zest, thyme, dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Spread on the baking sheet in an even layer.
• Roast in the preheated oven, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes, until edges are beginning to brown and radishes are fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Taste and season with additional salt, if desired.

ROASTED RED ONIONS - JAMIE OLIVER

Steps:

• Try to get 6 equal-sized medium or large red onions. Peel away the outermost layer of onionskin. Carefully slice off the core end of each onion to create a flat base. Make two cuts at right angles through the top of the onion, cutting only halfway through.
• Push some chopped fresh thyme and kosher salt down into the cuts, along with a tablespoon of soft butter for each onion.
• Cook in an earthenware dish, or in a roasting pan on a layer of kosher salt or sea salt. Place in a preheated 400F oven for 30-35 minute.
• You can also tuck the onions into the roasting pan with your chicken or lamb as it roasts.

ROASTED RED ONION WITH THYME AND BUTTER

Steps:

• Try to get 6 equal-sized medium to large red onions. Remove the first layer of skin. With a knife, just take the bottom of the core end of the onion off, to give it a flat base, and make 2 cuts in a cross-shape in the top, cutting half way down (do not cut right through into quarters). Push some chopped or pounded fresh thyme into these gaps with a good pinch of salt (it's important to get the salt right into the gaps) and a little knob of butter. I prefer to cook the onions in an earthenware dish on a thin layer of sea salt or I put them in with my roast chicken or lamb and they cook quite happily in the same tray. Place in the oven fat 200C/400 F/Gas 6 for 30-35 minutes.
• These onions are great with a roast, so tasty and sweet.

ROASTED RED ONIONS

Steps:

• This recipe works great as a stand-alone dish, but also as a component in Jamie's Steak night from Together - see the full collection of menus here.
• ON THE DAY Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Peel the onions, cut into 1cm-thick rounds and place in a large roasting tray. Dot over the butter and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then peel, slice and scatter in the garlic, as well as the sprigs of thyme. Add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, toss together, then arrange in a single layer. Roast for 30 minutes on the middle shelf, giving the tray a jiggle halfway through. Remove, drizzle with the honey and red wine vinegar, mix well and shake flat. Cover with tin foil until needed.
• TO SERVE When the steak is resting, return the onions to the oven, covered, for 15 minutes, or until sticky and sweet. Before serving, season to perfection, tasting and tweaking.

ROASTED STUFFED ONIONS - THE NAKED CHEF, JAMIE OLIVER

Steps:

• Boil the onions in plenty of water for 15 minutes, until slightly tender. Remove from the pan and allow to cool. Remove the top 1 inch of each onion and reserve. If need be, slightly trim the stalk end of the onion so that they sit flat on a roasting tray.
• Cut about a heaped tbsp out from the inside of each onion, keeping the outside intact. Finely chop along with the reserved onion top.
• Pre heat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat a frying pan and add a little olive oil, garlic, chopped onions and a little chopped rosemary. Fry for a couple of minutes then turn the heat down and add the cream. Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan and season to taste.
• Wrap a rasher of bacon around each onion and secure with the sharpened rosemary twig or half a cocktail stick.
• Place the onions on the roasting tray and spoon some of the filling inside each one. Bake for 25 minutes.
• Place the onions on a warmed serving plate, warm through any remaining filling and serve on the side.
