I could write an ode to onions: this humble and versatile vegetable, indispensable in the kitchen, manages to become the protagonist of delicious dishes. At the top of my preferences are the STUFFED ONIONS in the summer version, with tomato sauce (even in VIDEO RECIPE). But even these baked pistachio gratin onions are delicious. And much easier to prepare. Baked onions are easy to make and read, but the anchovy-based gratification, breadcrumbs, spices, herbs and pistachio makes them even more delicious. Now that temperatures have dropped we can start turning on the oven again, How about? Also because sweet, gratin vegetables and savory pies are the nice things of autumn, along with the colors of the leaves and the scent of roasted boilers.
Baked onions, how to get a perfect gratin
My suggestion is to use Tropea Igp onions, sweet and beautiful purple, but even with the simple golden onion you will get a great result. The gratin is made from breadcrumbs, Parmigiano Reggiano, Marjoram, Thyme, extra virgin olive oil flavored with anchovies, Sicilian style, pistachios.
Not to make the grating too dark, I suggest you cook onions first, on parchment paper greed with extra virgin olive oil, 5-7 minutes. And then complete the cooking after distributing the mixture for grating. These baked pistachio gratin onions are eaten in a bite:. Cut the onions into slices about one centimeter thick, because during cooking they dehydrate by shrinking.
If you have already tried GRATIN MUSHROOMS WITH HAZELNUTS, you'll know that you can consider these gratin vegetables both as a starter and as a side dish. The baked onion, in particular, it's perfect to accompany meat dishes like a rich ROAST PORK WITH PLUMS, along with baked or grilled potatoes. At this point, I'll leave you to the recipe and wish you a good day!
