The Giarratana onion is a typical Sicilian onion, from the Ragusa area. It’s a sweet, delicate and enormous onion, perfect to accompany both fish and meat dishes. Excellent on focaccia and pizza and why not in a tasty summer salad.
Ingredients.
- 3 Giarratana onions (500/600g each)
- 6 spoons of breadcrumbs
- 4 tbsp of pecorino cheese or parmigiano ( I used Ragusano )
- 1 tbsp of capers
- Some origan
- Salt pepper
- Some parsley
- 5 tbsp EVO
Peel the onions, cut them in half and place them in a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
With a knife cut the pulp of the onion making oblique cuts to facilitate the cooking.
Mix the breadcrumbs with the grated cheese, the chopped capers, origan, a pinch of salt some pepper and the oil
Season the onions with some EVO and salt, cover with the breadcrumbs, dress with a drizzle of EVO
Bake in a preheated oven at 190 degrees for about 40/45 minutes
Done !
Buon appetito !
