Speaking of onions, a friend on another thread just asked me if I had ever had poached stuffed onions. I have not, but apparently my hubby has, before my time. So I'm going to try it.

Have any of you ever made them?

Here's what she said to do:
Large onions work best, I like the Spanish yellow or plain white onion. Core it from the root side and hollow it out to about three layers thick. Mix up a savory stuffing a good use of the onion guts,(I like sausage), with shredded hard cheese of your choice, loosely pack the hollow, put them into a cast iron skillet or roasting pan. Put about 2-3 inches of beef broth around the onions. Cover and shove them in a preheated 425* oven for 10 minutes then drop the temp to 350*, cook until translucent and soft to a tooth pick and 165*-175* in the stuffing.

I've never made stuffed braised onions, but it sounds really delicious. I can barely cook something without putting an onion in it. Although DH and I aren't fans of raw onion, for the most part. I have made this creamed onion gratin before and it was so rich and delicious. I'm pretty sure I added gruyere to it. That sounds like something I would do.

Wow, both of those sound wonderful!

It is snosleeraining on me now. Got quite a bit of stuff done. Fixed gates, brought hay closer, cleaned the sheep pen, pounded some T-posts in before the ground freezes (for tweaking the fence later), dug Osha and tidied up yet again. Maybe 6 inches is what they are saying. I think it is lunch and hot coffee and time to change out of these wet clothes.

Margie, what does "dug Osha" mean? If it's something you'll get in trouble for spelling out, forget I asked!

Osha is a medicinal plant that grows wild around here and you use the root for the most part. Some make osha honey, but I make tincture for my family.

I've never heard of it before (I thought maybe you were talking in code, lol).

Google 'osha as a medicinal plant' and see what comes up. I found it interesting!
Have fun with your normal weather, I'm still looking for a real fall.

I cannot eat a raw onion! I can cook with them, but I can smell one a mile away if its in something that I ordered "minus onions"...

I have been told that I only use cheese and mayo to hide the fact that I'm eating a sliced raw onion sandwich.
What do I know?
