Ingredients

• 4 large sweet onions
• 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center of the grill.
2. Gently stack firewood over the napkins and light the paper.
3. Allow the grill to heat for about 20 minutes for optimal cooking temperatures.

Step 2: Prepare the Onions

1. Peel the onions and slice off the tops while keeping the base intact.
2. Hollow out the centers, leaving a thick outer layer to hold the stuffing.
3. Chop the extracted onion flesh finely for the filling.

Step 3: Cook the Mushroom Filling

1. Move to the Arteflame’s flat cooktop, closer to the center for more heat.
2. Add butter and let it melt, then sauté the chopped onions until they become translucent.
3. Add minced garlic and mushrooms, seasoning with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
4. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.
5. Stir in panko breadcrumbs and freshly chopped parsley, then remove from the heat.

Step 4: Stuff and Grill the Onions

1. Fill each hollowed onion with the cooked mushroom mixture.
2. Sprinkle a generous amount of Gruyère cheese inside each onion.
3. Place the stuffed onions on the flat cooktop near the outer edge where the heat is lower.
4. Cover loosely with foil and grill for 25-30 minutes, rotating occasionally.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Remove the onions from the grill when they are tender and the cheese is melted.
2. Garnish with extra parsley and serve warm.

Tips

• Use butter instead of oil for deeper flavor.
• Grill at medium-low heat along the cooktop's outer surface to prevent burning.
• Enhance the flavor by adding crispy bacon bits inside the stuffing.
• Use foil to help retain moisture when grilling the onions.

Variations

1. Swedish Dill and Cheddar: Add fresh dill and swap Gruyère for sharp cheddar.
2. Garlic Herb Delight: Add rosemary and thyme to the stuffing for an aromatic twist.
3. Spicy Jalapeño Kick: Mix in diced jalapeños and use pepper jack cheese for heat.
4. Classic French Style: Use Brie and caramelized onions for a rich, creamy texture.
5. Vegan Option: Use dairy-free cheese and substitute butter with plant-based margarine.

This Swedish-inspired Mushroom and Cheese Stuffed Grilled Onion recipe brings deep flavors and smoky goodness to your table.
