The blooming onion in jar cooking cooks in 5 minutes in the microwave, sealed in the jar and seasoned with oil, salt, and balsamic vinegar. A side dish that can be prepared well in advance. It lasts 10 days in the refrigerator, thanks to the vacuum formed in the jar. A really quick and easy recipe, like the red onions in jar cooking and the onion soup in jar cooking. The blooming onion recipe is great to serve with a good roast or a rich cheese board.
