Onion on a pedestal with beef enoki sauce and rosemary flowers
Beef second courses

I love alliums and wish they could take center stage! These sweet onions are delicious served whole, flavored with a delicate sauce of white enoki mushrooms (which won't upstage the onion) and a little beef. The scattering of rosemary flowers is so that you have two distinct flavors in one dish (and they are pretty). Western-style cooking doesn't include much microwave cooking ( other than heat up and thaw). In Japan about 70% of the population doesn't have an oven but everyone has a microwave, so it is used much more in actual cooking. The onion turned out surprisingly sweet. This is a shintamanugi, a variety of sweet onion shaped like a shallot but larger, usually eaten raw. Vidalia or Maui onions are delicious and there are other varieties listed below.
