Presentation: Important Ingredient!

The garden's going full blast right now, so we're definitely "eating local". Some veggies grow more easily than others; onions are real troopers, popping up with minimal care. So when I saw a cool recipe this morning using onions, I zeroed in.

It's always nice to find interesting ways to serve the standard veggies. And not only are onions economical, they can be found in the "super food" category, being full of flavonoids and other nutrients. A featured recipe this morning, "Roasted Onions with Parsnip Puree" looked awesome, topped with some blue cheese and chopped walnuts. Thanks, "Delish", for an inspiring article.

I liked the rustic presentation, with the skins left on the onions. The root side is sliced off a bit so they won't tip over, and the top is cut off some, hollowed out a bit, and filled with the cooked, mashed parsnips. It's baked for over an hour, and garnished with the blue cheese and nuts. Yum. I'll be making this for dinner soon!
