Baked Stuffed Onions with Spinach Feta
2 large sweet or Spanish onions (about 1-1/2 pounds
total, peeled)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 clove garlic
One (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled feta cheese
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.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 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 foil and bake about 25
minutes. Serve hot.
Makes 4 servings (1 serving = 1/2 onion)
