19th century Baked Onion recipe
Ingredients: Onion
Instructions: Bake
Review: 4/5 stars
Pro: onion
Con: onion
Would onion again
Recipe seems pretty complicated. Is there an easier recipe for beginners?
@@hailtothevic I tried to simplify the recipe in a couple of different ways, but I either ended up with an uncooked onion, or a hot oven.
Since I watched this Video, a baked Onion is on every of my BBQ - sometimes I fancy it up, and cut the head of the Onion and soak it with Balsamico Vinecar and Salt. Its so delicious, simple, cheap and everyone liked it
@@hailtothevic have you tried the recipe for Onions Crudités?
"mother, I am gut-founded! Might we stop at the tavern to sup?"
"My dear, there is foodstuffs at the homestead!"

The foodstuffs within said homestead, indeed were an improvement to the tavern's sup. It appears mother's claim was correct by all means.
Gut-founded, huh.

I mean I find it quite interesting and learn to cook 1800 center to me has real appellation today.
But that's come from some that would struggle to boil water in a microwave.
It's a historical reenactment. He's got the old timey kitchen set up, paired with an old timey outfit, making old timey dishes from an old timey recipe book with old timey ingredients/cooking methods
Isn't it great?
I have no regrets
I love old time struggle meals. Butter salt and onions hits the spot
It's no struggle meal alone though. Onions store well so good for wintertime nutrients
More like old-time YUMMY meal. 🎉😂
Potatoes and butter always great going to do this tomorrow
Delicious and healthy af and cheap!!!
Ah yes, 2024 is great so far. All meals are struggle meals now

u and me both fella
I’ve watched it like 4 times now. I revisit it from time to time
has anyone tried the recipe? lol
@@st0l3nd4rts I’m about to. 😁
I am on a very tight budget, and onions are a mainstay of my diet. I eat one every day- in some form. But I have never thought of roasting one in the oven with the skin on! This looks absolutely delicious and adds to my uses of onions. They are loaded with nutrients, too, and are good for the health. And crazy simple. Thank you, Sir!
One a tight budget I actually did a variety of onion, potato, and cheap packaged brown gravy meals. I could get two meals out of 1 potato and one onion plus the gravy. Easiest was probably bake 1 potato and onion. When they are about 20 minutes in make the gravy. Get out two bowls. When potato and onion are done you half both. squish the potato halves into the bottom of the two bowls, top the potato with half an onion (I'd usually give each half a chop or three), top with gravy. Also, if you peel potato, you can try to get the strips of skin to be semi evenly sized and fry them up (or bake them), top with salt when cooling and you have the most potato-y potato chips ever. Very easy to burn though.
@jamesshoemaker3424 Sounds yummy! Thank you for the Recipe. I also eat potatoes almost every day.
They skewer nice, aka “shish kebob”. I can get by without some ingredients- onions aren’t really one of them
eating onions by themselves. Bidenomics
Ive heard that a whole onion a day apparently makes a mans testosterone skyrocket. Feeling thay at all?
My Mexican parents loved to wrap up onions in foil and toss them in hot coals while they grilled meat outside. The onions would caramelize beautifully and we'd add salt and lime
In Chile we do the same, it's delicious!!
Omg that's the best.

I am roasting 4 yellow onions as I type this out. 2 in foil and 2 bare. I prepared a pot of grits with bacon grease and cheddar cheese. A rustic supper for a cold evening.
That sounds exceptionally delicious ❤️
They were quite tasty! Next time I will wrap them each in a thick bacon slice and roast them. We use bacon grease often in baking cookies, too. @@samscarletta7433
This video is an old classic. Cooked onions are one of the simple pleasures that I’ve come to appreciate in this hard life. Thanks Townsend.
Some Hipster restaurant will certainly put this on their menu and charge folks $15 an onion.
there can be only one
$25, because it's served on a splintered wooden board that was smashed out of a packing crate.

Don't gimme ideas to make my first million, now.
I can’t believe I watched this guy eat an onion with a spoon
I think because it was so easy to prepare and cook he had to balance it out and make it awkward to eat.

I lol’ed hard for real
We used to cook Large Onions and Potatoes on the Locomotives , when working the stone trains from Wiltshire up to London at night.
It always shocks me that so many people don't really eat onions, haha. Where I'm from, eating onions is very common! :) I've been eating them raw and bakes since I was a child, along with garlic.
The red (purple) ones we usually eat raw - you just eat it with some cold food, like smoked & salted ham, bread, sour cream, and sometimes even some boiled potatoes. (That's what we call the Peasant's dinner!) You can also chop them up, pour some vinegar on them and mix it with some sugar and salt (basically you make a real quick brine) and let it sit for a couple hours, or maybe overnight. It goes well with so many dishes, sandwiches too. It helps with digestion as well!
As for the cooking onions (white / yellow), we very commonly bake them whenever we bake potatoes. Though, in my family we usually slice them in half, it makes them bake faster and allows you to add some salt or other seasonings on top if you feel like it. We also like to put in many cloves of garlic (the skin should be on!) in between the potatoes, and let those bake as well. You just peel the skin off when it's ready, and you can enjoy your caramelized onions and garlic along with your baked potatoes (and the potatoes taste better too if you bake everything together)!
It's tasty stuff and healthy as well! Not to mention that onions are usually quite cheap. I really recommend eating them!
THIS. habits changed so much. I think the fact that onions and vegetables in general are less tasty than before plays a big role. I moved to the UK recently and they don't hit the same way as they did in my hometown.
I eat loads of onions. I will do this.
Wow that sounds great
@@legrandarkan Yeah, I think so too. I think it's the effect of growing them in masses in effective ways, not growing them naturally, and sometimes harvesting before they're fully ripe.
Last summer we planted a few tomato plants. We mostly left them alone, no chemicals, only manual removal of bugs (ofc we could do this because we only had 3 plants, not 300), and only harvested them after the sun got them nice and ripe.
And oh boy. Those tomatoes and the ones from the store couldn't be more different. The store-bought was dry-ish, didn't have a lot of taste, and it wasn't very sweet - it's sometimes kind of bitter, actually.
Ours was juicy, had A LOT of taste (and a very good taste at that), it was pleasantly sweet but not to an overwhelming amount.
I can't wait for it to be summer again, the store-bought tomatoes just don't do it for me anymore. And I think that's the case with almost all veggies and fruit...
@@annamarielewis7078 That's great! :) I hope you'll enjoy them, onions are amazing food!
These onions are in great shape for being 200 years old
They've been rejuvenated from 2 centuries of age by soaking them in life juice for a day

L.M.A.O so funnnnyyy
It’s almost midnight, my freezer is full of frozen food, and the onion on my counter is, strangely, looking more appetizing than any of the other stuff in my house.
Did you do it?
@@darkstalkerkaathe4582 I did, with limited success. I used a white onion, and after about an hour in the oven it still wasn’t fully cooked. But if you’re desperate or desperately bored, and you have an onion sitting around…
That said, maybe not the best midnight snack.
@@theatlascomplex2052 Interesting findings. I have just now put 2 shallots to bake as a midnight snack since I don't have anything else to eat.
@@georgieboy761 Update?
Well yeah because freshly cooked food is 100x better than anything frozen
I did this not too long ago and decided to bake a potato to go with it. I then scooped out the insides of the potato and mashed them with the onion, some salt, pepper, and a bit of butter, then put the mashed mix back into the potato shell...legitimately one of the best things I've ever made. It was almost disappointing to me that it was so good simply because of how little culinary muscle is required. I like making complex dishes as a general rule...but this one threw me for a loop.
This is in our Pakistani culture particularly in sindh province .
Where i learned this technique from my gramdmother , one time i remeber got an spike stuck in my right foot and it was very hard to take out spike with needle . So she backed this in traditional (oven- different from western ovens) and put a slice of onion on my foot where the spike was stuck .
Thirtee minutes later i took off the slice of onion from my foot and there it was the spike was literally just peeking out from the skin and rest of the onion was a delicacy to enjoy.
I love this video. He promises to roast an onion in the oven and does exactly that. No more, no less.
One of the things that made me sub lol. I don't need theatrics or overacting, just good content and that's what this is. Who'dathunkit.

I'm Portuguese, we use a lot of onions in our culinary recipes and salads, I also bake them and caramelize. Caramelized onion+ baked apple/pear+ baked egg+ bread slices is delicious!
I've done this for years, except I peel the onion, score either side, place a pad of butter on both sides. I then wrap it foil, and bake. Sometimes I add Allegro seasoning, and serve with a good steak. Love this! Thank you!
I'm glad someone took the time 200yrs ago to publish this recipe.
Indeed. What if they just carried on their daily lives with this magnificent recipe instead of posting it on their online blog?!?
tried this, i feel like there was too much onion, the flavour overpowered the rest of the dish.
Maybe try adding more onion to compensate?
cheesebumble no they need to add a half cup less of onions my friend had the same problem
A sprinkle of onion; always better with some seasonings.
Try some onion salt
Might I suggest doubling the quantity of onions used in this recipe?
I tried this recipe, but I'm actually allergic to onion, so I left it out when I made it.
Let me tell you, the flavor was. It had this wonderful taste of. Truly a versatile recipe. Thank you.
A long time ago I read a book named Bound For Glory, by Woody Guthrie, about his experiences during the depression in America. Many times he would hardly eat. But he told of a memory, on occasion, with things so bad that it was a treat to get hold of an onion, eat it, and felt like he'd eaten all day. What a score. Good book by the way. I'll try this simple pleasure soon. Thanks.
🌰🧅🥔🧄🌶 and enjoy the treat.😊❤
"We were so poor, we didn't have any salt to put on our baked onions." My great grandfather

@@jadebell550 baked onion I have not tried yet, but I'm soo gonna😎👌 baked garlic I have tho and they are lovely. Might try both at the same time.
I grew up in an old New England family. The idea of baking or cooking whole onions was pretty normal. Surrounding the Thanksgiving Turkey as it was cooking would be whole but peeled carrots, onions and potatoes. They would be in our boiled dinners also. If we home baked beans in the bean crock at least one whole onion would be in there.
I can see baking them in the skin as a great idea. Simple but delicious.
Same here .I'm from cape cod. My dear old granny made some hearty meals.lots of onions.
Can’t figure out why I keep rewatching this. I really can’t.
The humble onion. So versatile you could even use them to pay your taxes in medieval times.
Sean Greer As was the style at the time
what ? you cant write such a juicy bit of fiscal history like that without expanding on it xD
@@baderminahdin9450 Well, I believe I read it either in the Time Travellers Guide to Medieval England or some other historical book related to food history. If you didn't have the cash, you could use crops and onions were used frequently. Another ingredient we think of as a recent development is almond milk, it was used extensively in medieval cooking.

Cooking a happy little onion
Nah. Ainsley Harriot is
He’s even from Indiana too!
we (least our family) still does this in britain, especially near christmas, only difference is we add lard, bit of oil and roast them with the potato's, you know they're done when the inner layers start popping out. it's good to appreciate simple wholesome ingredients like a fresh vine-picked tomato or an apple.
and on the other side of the globe, where it is summer in December, we have our Christmas meals etc, sometimes doing a special meal.... with a pork or sheep roast
(mainly lamb or hogget, but mutton is popular too), with the onions, sweet potato (specifically kumara), parsnips and any other root vegetables..... slowly roasted in with the meat...OMG !!!
But as it is our summer.... we sometimes just travel light, have a sandwich or two, and go for a swim at a river or beach..
@@colonelfustercluck486 I remember my mother roasting onions, with lamb mainly, along with the roast potatoes. That was back in the 1950's and early 60's. I don't think I have ever done that myself, but i can still remember the taste.
I just love how happy you are with just an onion. Really makes you think about the people who don't have the luxury of a standard meal of this time
The closest thing we get to a recipe here is:
• Onion
• Oven
• 35 minutes
• Maybe salt or butter or whatever
temps at 350 or so as well!
if you see that as a negative, i feel as though you have missed the point of the series entirely
Nah, just thought it was kind of funny.
Yeah I feel ya on how...humorous these older recipies are, ya know? Like, nowadays a lot of recipies are complex. Even more simple dishes have a few steps to them. But just a literal recipe that says “onion + oven = good” is just a comedical expectation subversion. It’s neat to see how far we’ve come in lots of little things even like cooking recipies.
350 what?

I don't even like onions usually, but this is actually really good. I ate nearly the whole thing before I realized I hadn't even salted it yet.
Here in Mexico at any outdoor barbecue, we put green onions with their tails right along with the meat on the grill until they are charred. They are served alongside the meat and eaten with salt, lime juice and maybe some salsa. Delicious!
That's wicked popular in Catalonia, they eat grilled scallions and drink red wine.
That sounds amazing.
We don't have onions here in Italy, I hope someday I will come to mexico to try them
It stems from a Spanish tradition in which they bbq’d calcots (green onions) and served them alongside a tart/savory romesco dip with wine and bbq’d meat. Traditional Mexican cuisine is Mayan and azteca ZERO bbq. What you see in traditional Mexican “carne asada” is 100% Spanish.
We do skewers of peppers and garlic at our _barbacoas_ along with the green onions.
Baked the onion and a garlic bulb at same time.
Blended together, awesome on toast and corn on the cob.
this is me Slow down, man. That’s getting a little too complicated.
My friend does this then freezes them in an ice tray then pops the roasted onion/garlic ice cube in a bowl before pouring hot soup on it.
A billion times better.
Can you guys give me exact measurement? Like 1 kilo of onion to 1 kilo of garlic?
@@xTWOx thank you very much! I guess I'll try it your way first before I go on my own ratio.
@@victorvalenzuela9174 I just edited in a bit more detail into my comment. Sorry, I don't have specific ratios. Let us know how yours come out. 🥄🍲🧂
I know I’m about four years late to this party but I’ve been doing something similar for years. I peel the onion, cut off the top and root and quarter it but not all the way. I leave about a half inch still intact. Then I shove some butter in the slices along with salt pepper and garlic, wrap in foil and cook in a hot grill for 30 40 min or until soft. Delicious.
i abolutely love this channel. I love the old house, the period-accurate clothing, and so much reading and thoughts was put into it
This is amazing!!!! I didn’t know a recipe could have so many layers!
I made this for Friday lunch once at work. I looked up a video on how to make it just to make sure I didn't loose my mind. As I recall everyone ate at least one onion that day, and other people had brought in smoked pulled pork, mac and cheese, and chips and salsa.
I see what you did there =)
Indeed, each bite makes you cry.
just like ogres
BAhahahaha I needed that; thanks. XD
You say that it's really simple but i think its quite obvious that theres several layers to it.
This comment is so underatted

If you peel back all the layers of that onion you will get to the bottom of it.

@@HGD70 sounds delicous, i think my grandma used to make a sort of gratin that was similar! thank you!
All vegetables are great roasted!🥰
How’d it go?
One thing you can do on a similar note is wrap them in tinfoil and toss them beneath the fire when grilling. They turn out great and are one of my favorites when camping/grilling.
My grandmother made something very similar to this to go with liver and mashed potatoes once. Everyone was incredulous at the whole onions on their plate until we tried them. They were delicious!
Roasted onions are really nice like this, and this is definitely authentic, but to everybody reading this.......
Cut them in half (vertically) with the skin on, and place the halves flat side down in a pan with enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan....add a few sprigs of sage or rosemary (or both), and cook them as long as you would like, adding any additional seasoning at the end (salt, pepper, etc). The onions caramelize on the flat side while remaining tender from leaving the peel on. This is not to bash what is in the video, but you should definitely try it out.
The pan can go in the oven at room temp, no need to get it hot first!
Brendan Haley Do any vital onion juices tend to escape with them facing down?
Afterburner No, the skin being left on will help retain most of the moisture. The flat (exposed) part of the onion will be cooking gently in the olive oil, so while that side may crisp a little bit, it shouldn’t dry out or burn in any way. This is why the pan should be at room temperature. If the onions are put on hot oil/preheated pan, that side might get too dark by the time they finish roasting.
Brendan Haley Thanks. When you say to cut vertically, you mean from the top of the onion to the bottom rather than from side to side, correct?
Afterburner Yes, you should cut it in half so that from the scaly leaves to the stem, it is split down the middle, and end up with mirror-image halves (they will cook evenly this way).
Brendan Haley I appreciate your advice. I’m going to give it a try and I will let you know how it turns out. This sounds like the perfect dish to go with a steak.

I bet the steak was better than the onion.
There is really no point in frying them in olive oil, especially extra virgin olive oil, unless you specifically like the taste, as high temperature diminishes advantages of extra virgin olive oil over cheaper oils. I like to fry onions in sunflower oil. Will try to bake them over this weekend with some potatoes.
I recommend cooking at 200° to avoid melting the oven
No longer shall onions be secondary. Long live our new King.
All hail the onion
All hail the Onion King
All hail the Onion King!!
Rule Onion!
All hail these nuts
😂😂 Your reaction says it all.
I guess I'm going to have to bake some onions in my Kamoda Grill tonight. Maybe some potatoes too.
My son shared your site with me 3 years ago when he was 16 years old at the time and your site got him interested in cooking.
We made quite a few of your recipes the fried chicken is one of our favorites, My son is in College now for Engineering but he loves to cook when ever he can. Thanks to your Site. Thank You.
I usually only watch these for entertainment but recently I've been actually using the recipes too and it's been a journey
Imagine a contestant from Hell's Kitchen makes this as their dish for Gordon Ramsay.

John Dope tell him it’s Moroccan.

I'm showing up to the next party with a roasted onion. 🤙
my man
Make it a power move by not making it roosted but you marinated it in ketchup

I love roasted onions, and have been eating them this way for decades. I wrap mine in foil, sometimes I will include other veggies in the foil as well. They become sweet, and somewhat savory. Salt and pepper go well on them.
I'm going to roast a few onions and a few garlic bulbs: to eat, to add to my homemade tomato soup, and to spread a bit on my grilled cheese sandwiches to go with my bowls tomato soup. Thank you for sharing this!
You can bake a potato at the same time. 🌰🧅🥔🧄🌶
Its amazing how the taste of onion changes drastically when cooked
Just like a baked potato. Baked potato soup has a significantly different flavor than any other kind of potato soup.
A lot of food be like that. I’ll never forget the day I discovered how to bake human meat. Raw meat in general are pretty tasteless and chewy.
@@unclekanethetiberiummain1994 i beg to differ, try vegetarians
True enough.
Finally not a meme comment
Its 2022 and I am awoken on the Onion Question
I actually saw this video and tried it a week before Nick mentioned it, I feel like he owes me money 😂
@@rougelazer8278 Did he do a casual stream where he watched this video and then it became a thing? I’m trying to figure out the lore behind it because I couldn’t watch for a bit then I came back to onions. 😂
@@redhothchilipeppers6299 he mentioned that he baked an onion on a Beardson steam a month ago maybe, he never mentioned the video by name but he describes this guy lol.
Honestly it's really good content this stuff, unusual for 2022 UA-cam
This has got to be the most wholesome popular channel on the tube.
And so was born the legend that is Ser Davos, Onion Knight.
That was not oven baked, it was wildfire.
Sir Davos was the first guy I thought of.
Davos? You mean Siegmeyer
Whenever he complained about his Sigil I yelled the the screen about how awesome Onions are.
@@Dantick09 nice one
As Mexican, this not even weird, we STILL eat onions this way to this day, they are a popular side dish in a lot meals, like tacos.
absolutely, especially when we bbq food just wrap an onion in tin foil and bam a delicious side dish.
@@a.vasquez771 learned that in Boy Scouts. Moved on to onion, bell pepper, and a smoked sausage. Tin foil cooking!
It's so good and healthy
@@nomadmarauder-dw9re Rather get something else than tin foil. Something that is reusable..
@@lb8384 this was about 55 years ago.
He made that onion look good as hell.
I love how unsure he is about the recipe, and the double take he gives when he tries the onion. Gave me a serious chuckle.
Cooked onion is a very common garniture for kebab in Turkey.We regularly eat it as a salad.With some salt,sumac lemon juice or sour pomegranate sauce.
That salad sounds nice. We use it like that in Britain and other anglophone countries. I like a bit of chopped raw onion with raita dipping sauce (raita is an Indian sauce, at it's most basic it's just mint + yoghurt)
Could you share the sour pomegranate sauce information if you have it please?
@@vegasbattleborn1594 Middle Easterners (Levant area like Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan) use the sour pomegranate juice too. Ours is sweet as well as sour, I'm not sure how that compares with Turkey. It's called dibs rumman, you can Google it for more info
It's not uncommon to put onions in with a meat roast here, especially with some carrots or potatoes. We also cook our onions in different ways & add them to meals all the time, but I think what's so special about this recipe is that the onion stands on its own.
And that’s why Turkish guys extremely hot as hell 🤤💦💦
I saw this and ate roasted onions for a month now I cant look at them.
Lol, that's how I roll, too
Disgusting
it's addicted XD
😂😂 😂
@The Name Is Evian I feel you I used to be the same but now I try to go back and listen once in awhile out of respect for the artist/artists 🤣
Everything, caramelized, so good.
I first saw this video a few years ago, and I still use this recipe to this day. :)
I decided to make one, and my fiance and her family think I'm a joke, they're making memes like "when your husband says he making dinner!" And there taking pictures of the onion in the oven😭
Lmao!
This gave me a chuckle, thank you lmaooo
Lmfao
Still making people laugh with this comment 6 months later lol
How'd it turn out? Were their doubtful minds disproven?
"No seriously that's all we're going to do." That moment when John didn't even believe what he was doing.
