This is a variation on an incredible dish that my uncle taught me years ago. Its basically just a quick cooked onion, but it is delicious and makes a great side dish, snack, entree, or even main course.
Makes 1 serving.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium vidalia onion
- ¼ cup Beef, Chicken or vegetable stalk
- 1tsp Chipotle or Ancho chili powder
- 1 glove of garlic, peeled
- salt and pepper
- Olive oil
Instructions:
-
Cut a slice of the top and bottom of the onion so it will set flat with the the open top exposed.
-
Place the onion on either an oven safe or microwave safe, depending on which cooking method you are using, root side up.
-
Using a pairing knife or grapefruit knife hollow out a ½ inch diameter hole in the center of the onion ¾ of the the way deep.
-
Brush the entire onion with a thin layer of olive oil
-
Salt and Pepper the entire onion
-
Place the glove of garlic in the well you hollowed out in step 2
-
pour the chili pepper into the the hollowed out well

Fill the well to almost the top with stalk
