BACON-WRAPPED BAKED ONIONS

Steps:

• Cook the onions in boiling water until tender, but not falling apart (about 25 minutes).
• Remove from pot with a slotted spoon and cool.
• When cool enough to handle, cut off about an inch off of top of onions with a very sharp knife, and finely chop the tops.
• Trim the root end of the onions slightly, just enough so they can stand straight.
• Scoop out about a heaping tablespoon from the center of each onion (make certain to keep the inside intact) and finely chop the center, adding to the rest of the chopped onions.
• Transfer the hollowed onions to an oiled baking dish (I use an 11x7-inch for 8 onions, if you are only making 4 onions, then use an 8x8-inch).
• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• In a skillet over medium heat, saute the chopped onions for about 3 minutes in oil.
• Stir in whipping cream and remove from heat.
• Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
• Fill the whole onions with some of the sauted onion and Parmesan mixture, then spoon the remainder of the mixture around the onions in the baking dish.
• Wrap a piece of pancetta or a bacon slice around the middle of each onion and secure with a toothpick.
• Bake the onions for about 40-50 minutes (depending on the size of your onions).

BACON-WRAPPED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Wrap 2 slices of bacon through the middle of each onion ring and fully around to cover, leaving the center of the ring open. Transfer to a baking rack on a baking sheet. Bake until the bacon is fully cooked, about 25 minutes.

BAKED FOIL WRAPPED MARINATED RED ONION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Make 4 slices across each red onion within a 1/2 inch of cutting through them. Into these incisions, place 1 piece of bacon and 1 slice of garlic. Place each onion in the center of a piece of foil. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the thyme, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper. Spoon over each onion. Bring the corners of the foil up over the onion and twist into a tight package. Place on a sheet tray and bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before removing foil. To serve, heat by fanning on a hot well-oiled grill or in the oven. Serve with a smile.

HADDOCK WITH BACON AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rinse fish and pat dry. Sprinkle fish with lemon juice and salt. Coat an oven-safe handled large skillet with a drizzle of EVOO and a little softened butter. If your skillets all have rubber handles, coat handle twice with tin foil and it should be fine in the oven. Set
• portioned fish into skillet.
• Heat a small skillet over medium high heat. Add a drizzle of EVOO and the bacon. Render the fat in the bacon 3 minutes then add onions. Sweeten and soften onions and garlic 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Add bread crumbs to the pan and turn them to coat them in drippings. Add parsley and capers combine. Top fish with coating of onions, bacon and bread crumbs. Bake 15 minutes. Transfer fish to dinner plates and top with chopped tomato.
