Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large yellow onions
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the onions and cut off a small slice from the bottom of each one to allow them to sit flat. Scoop out a small portion from the top of each onion to create a shallow cavity.
Place the onions into a lightly greased oven-safe baking dish.
Divide the butter into small cubes and place one cube into the cavity of each onion. Distribute the remaining butter evenly across the baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper. Spoon the sour cream mixture into the cavities of the onions, dividing it equally.
Sprinkle the bread crumbs on top of the sour cream mixture in each onion for added texture.
Drizzle the olive oil over the onions and the bottom of the baking dish to prevent sticking and to enhance browning.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the onions are tender and golden on top.
Once baked, garnish the onions with fresh dill and serve them warm as a side dish or a light vegetarian entree.
