Tennessee Onions
So here is something completely out of left field. And also completely wonderful.
I had this Sweet Onion left from what is now casually called “SmashFest2023®”. So this is one onion, one man, one 9″x9″ glass dish.
This is a take off of something that is called a Tennessee Onion.
I sliced one sweet onion in about 1/4 thin slices and kept them in their circles. I placed them in a glass dish that was coated with olive oil to keep them from sticking. Heat up your oven to 350°.
I coated them with…
Dried thyme
Dried parsley flakes
Garlic powder
Dried oregano
Dry mustard
Cayenne pepper
I topped this Kerrygold butter, smoked gouda and cheddar. About a handful of each.
This went into the oven for 20 minutes, covered with foil. Then I pulled off the foil, turned off the oven and went paddle boarding for an hour. I don’t think this is a good process, but they really still turned out quite good.
Think of this as a solid side dish. I don’t write up a lot of side-dishes, so this is my first attempt. And, it really is very good. Put this on any burger, steak, chicken or (god forbid) hot dog and you will be considered a master chef.
