Need a side dish but everything is boring, and there are no fancy ingredients in the kitchen? Martha Stewart, culinary expert and TV host, suggested stocking up on onions for such occasions.
Stewed white onions make the most universal side dish for meat, poultry, or fish. It is quick to prepare and, as the recipe shared by EatingWell states, consists of just 3 ingredients.
How to Make a Side Dish from Onions
You will need 1.5 kg of small white onions, a piece of butter to taste (about ⅓ of a stick), salt, and pepper. For aroma and color, Martha Stewart suggests adding a bit of fresh parsley.
The process is as simple as the ingredient list:
Quickly boil the onions in salted water and peel them.
Make a cut at the root of the onion so that it cooks evenly.
Brush with butter, sprinkle with spices, and bake at 175 °C for about 30 minutes, then another 10 until golden brown.
Benefits of Onions
White onions are rich in prebiotics, which support a healthy gut microbiome, so this light side dish will be relevant during the season of heavy feasts.
It is worth noting that baking onions retains more benefits than frying them.
