Baked Stuffed Onions with Spinach Feta

Recipe Type: Onions, Vegetables, Spinach, Cheese
Yields: 4 servings
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 25 min


Ingredients:

2 large sweet or Spanish onions (about 1-1/2 pounds total, peeled)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced or chopped
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground pepper
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled feta cheese


Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the onions in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the onions are partially tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool; cut the onions in half crosswise. Scoop out the center of each onion half, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Reserve the centers. If necessary, cut a small piece from the end of each onion shell so the shells will stand upright.

Prepare a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the onion halves in one layer with non-stick pan spray. Place the onions in the prepared dish, hollowed sides up.

Chop the reserved centers of the onions. Sauté in oil with the garlic in a medium saucepan until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach, lemon juice, and pepper; cook until the liquid evaporates. Remove from the heat; stir in the bread crumbs and cheese

Fill the onion shells with the spinach mixture. Cover with aluminum foil and bake approximately 25 minutes. Serve hot.

Makes 4 servings (1 serving = 1/2 onion)
