Outdooroven Recipe: Red Onion Flowers

Colette Dike of Fooddeco loves outdoor cooking and eating. In her special garden on the oldest dune of Bloemendaal she can be found in all seasons to enjoy long dinners and drinks. Especially for Weltevree she came up with these red onion flowers to prepare on the Outdooroven.

Ingredients for the basic red onion flower recipe:

6 red onions
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
bunch of fresh herbs (sage, rosemary, thyme), picked from your own garden if you can!
salt and pepper to taste
also needed: 12 sheets of aluminum foil

Ingredients for the salad:

1 avocado
200 grams buffalo mozzarella, torn into pieces
small bunch of fresh dill, finely chopped
lemon zest
olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

STEP 1: Peel the outer layer of the red onions and cut a small piece off the bottom so that the onions stay upright better. Cut each onion almost all the way through four times so that you get eight wedges per onion. Be careful not to cut the onions all the way through. Place each onion on two sheets of aluminum foil.

STEP 2: Mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and drizzle over the onions, add the fresh herbs and fold the packets closed.

STEP 3: Place the onion packets in the preheated Weltevree Outdoor oven - indirectly on the heat in the top compartment - and bake the onions for about 30 minutes (depending on the temperature of the oven, they should be longer or shorter) until they are completely soft.

STEP 4: For the salad, arrange the avocado and buffalo mozzarella on a platter and divide the dill, lemon zest, pepper and salt on top.

STEP 5: Remove the aluminum foil and serve the onion florets with the salad. Also add the juices from the foil packets to the salad as a seasoning, if desired.
