Onion Boil

This is Mama Miche and today in my magic kitchen: Viral Onion Boil with Twice Stolen Spice.

I love onions, which is funny because I did not like them as a child. But as they say, your taste buds change, and if I'm gonna have a steak, I want some caramelized onions, and on a cold rainy or snowy day, few soups hit harder than French onion. Yum yum. So, obviously, I'm gonna try this viral onion boil with my Twice Stolen Spice™ and damn if it ain't fire! 

Mama Miche makes your kitchen magic; make this, MMMK?!? Let's eat.


Tools

  • Large chef knife 

  • Cutting board or mat

  • Aluminum foil 

  • Oven safe cookware

Ingredients

Makes 1-2  servings

  • 1 large onion, peeled and ends trimmed off

  • 2 tablespoon butter 

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tbsp Twice Stolen Spice™

  • optional garnish: parsley or basil leaves.

Directions

Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 60 minutes

Prep

  • Preheat oven to 375°F

  • Season the onion. Use a melon baller to scoop out the top center portion of the onion (about ⅓ of the way down) to make a well in the center. 

  • Place the onion on a sheet of aluminum foil and add the butter into the well. 

  • Mix the seasonings with the olive oil and pour over the butter into the well, allowing the oil and seasoning mixture to drip down the sides of the onion. 

  • Wrap and seal the onion tightly in the aluminum foil and place it in a small baking dish or cast iron skillet.

Cook

  • Roast on the center rack of the oven for 1 hour. 

  • Remove from the oven and open the foil to check on the onion. The entire onion should be fork-tender and the center jiggly. It also should be slightly caramelized. 

  • If it needs more time to cook, simply reseal the foil and pop it back in the oven for another 10 minutes.

  • Remove and turn the oven to broil. Open the foil and drizzle more melted butter (or olive oil) 

  • Broil for 5-10 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning. 

  • Serve. Gently put the onion in a bowl and pour all the juices from the foil overtop the onion. Sprinkle with fresh herbs.
