FEEDS: 2-4

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• 2 medium size onions, peeled
• 1 lb. poultry sausage links, raw
• ¼ C. orange juice concentrate, defrosted
• 1-2 T. fresh thyme leaves

LET'S COOK

Use a sharp paring knife to slice half way into the onions just to the center, from top to bottom. Drop into boiling water and cook for 9-10 minutes. Remove the cooked onions to a plate and allow cooling to the touch. Slide each layer of onion off as a whole piece until you get to a walnut size center, which you can save for other dishes.

Place a lump of the raw sausage in each onion section and wrap it to completely enclose the meat, being sure the onion overlaps a little bit on each one. Place in a pan, cover and refrigerate until it’s time to prepare dinner. These can be done under a broiler or on a grill. As you cook them, baste with the orange juice concentrate and sprinkle with fresh or dried thyme leaves. They require about 8 minutes per side.

MORE IDEAS:

If you choose, use pork sausage, hot or mild is fine. These can be prepared a day in advance so the day of the party, all you have to do is cook them.
