Ingredients
2 large yellow onions, (about 1 pound)1 sweet potato, diced (about 7 ounces)1 teaspoon dried thyme1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar2 tablespoon chopped walnuts1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon blue cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner. Remove the root and tip of the onions, peel away the outer skin and cut each onion in half horizontally. Using a paring knife, melon baller or spoon hollow out the center of the onion, but reserve the removed sections for use on another night.
Place the onions on the sheet pan and coat with nonstick spray. Fill each onion with 1/4 of the sweet potatoes and thyme. Coat with nonstick spray.
Bake for 20 minutes, then open the oven and carefully pour 1 teaspoon of vinegar over each stuffed onion and bake another 5 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, top each onion with chopped walnuts and blue cheese, and bake 5 more minutes.

     The presentation of this was impressive.I moistened the sweet potatoes and put them in the micro for a few minutes before filling onions. I used .5 oz of cheese and .5 oz black walnuts in each onion. - 11/12/12

     I made this tonight. I would cook the sweet potatoes for a few minutes in boiling water. Even cooking them at 35 minutes they weren't quite done. Also, they were a little dry but still good! My husband would have liked more cheese. Overall it was tasty and nice with our gardein chicken. Thx Chef Meg - 11/12/12

     Something that takes Chef Meg 10 minutes to prepare takes me 20 minutes at least. Next time I might cook them longer. I cooked them in an enameled dish with parchment. Next time I will cover them to keep them from drying. Very good! - 11/23/12

     Sounded great, as all the ingredients are favorites, but the flavors didn't come together, even with steaming the sweet potato first & baking the onions longer. Liked the sweet potato in little chunks and will try all the ingredients in a casserole. Maybe adding green chiles, chanterelles & egg. - 11/13/12

     ok, now that I've made it - it looked good but was awful. No one liked it. I agree, the flavors did not blend and the prep time was much longer than 10 minutes. NOT incredible. - 12/13/12

     I am allergic to onions, but made this for my husband and he really liked it. - 11/12/12

     Elegant, sounds super yummy & may be served in an upscale restaurant or good for entertaining. I don't care for Blue Chesse so I plan on trying it with Feta/Gargonzola. I may even sub TraderJoe's Candied (slightly sweet) Pecans or mix with the Walnuts! Yum!! --HOWSLADY,Yes reg potatoes2, wo walnuts? - 11/12/12
  • DHUNTER49
     do you need to cook the sweet potatoes or will they soften enough in 30 mins? - 11/12/12
  • CD3409143
     Not sure if I could like it as I do not care for blue cheese but that's as far as I care to take it. I am sure at least as much effort was out into this recipe and for that I am appreciative. - 11/12/12

     The picture shows onion slices rather than hollowed out onion halves. I sautéed the potatoes with the thyme in a nonstick skillet with just a tiny bit of olive oil which helps with the overall flavor. Overall, this is a wonderful and flavorful idea. - 11/12/20
