what can i make with a bunch of sweet white onions? (besides onion soup)?

I picked a bunch of onions last night, and not thinking, cleaned and peeled them all. Now, what can I make with them? it's about 5 lb.s of onions and they are on the sweet side, they don't burn much when they squirt you in the eye. I don't want to make soup, it's too hot, so any ideas?

Roasted Onions with Balsamic Vinegar

2 large onions
2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper, to taste
4 sprigs fresh thyme

Cut off tops of onions, remove skins keeping root end intact. Slice the onions into 6 even wedges. Place skin side down in a roasting pan. In a small bowl, combine vinegar, water and oil. Pour the mixture over the onions and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Tuck the thyme sprigs in among the onions. Cover and place the roaster in a cold oven. Roast at 400 degrees for 45 minutes, basting occasionally, until tender.

Grilled Onion Packages
3 large red, yellow or white onions (9 to 11 ounces each), peeled and trimmed
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs such as rosemary, sage, thyme or tarragon
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Heat charcoal or gas grill to medium. Cut each onion in half horizontally. With a sharp pointed knife cut a hole about 1-inch wide and 1/2-inch deep in top of each onion. Place each onion on a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 12x14-inches. Combine remaining ingredients and drizzle over onions. Fold edges of foil together to seal tightly. Place packets on grill.

Cook covered on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals until tender, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove packets from grill. Fold foil back carefully before serving. Makes 6 servings.

Stuffed Onions

4 large onions skin-on
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 large sprigs fresh thyme, plus 2 teaspoons finely chopped thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large clove garlic
20 ounces spinach, stems removed, washed and dried
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 large eggs lightly beaten with a fork
Pinch of cayenne pepper, or more to taste
1 cup sourdough bread crumbs (or whatever kind you have on hand)
4 ounces feta crumbled (I have also used Parmesan cheese)

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees

Trim the ends of the onions, leaving the skins on, and cut them in half horizontally. Put the onions, cut-side up, in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the oil; scatter the thyme sprigs over the top and season with salt and pepper. Add 2 cups of water, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake, basting with the pan juices until the edges of the onions are browned, about 45 minutes to 1 hour more. (Add more water if pan is running dry.) Remove from the oven and cool.

Smash the garlic clove with the side of a cook’s knife. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat, add the garlic and stir until golden, about 3 minutes. Remove the garlic and discard. Working in batches, add the spinach, stirring to wilt before each addition. When all the spinach has been added, raise the heat to high, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cover and cook until fully wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain the spinach in a colander. When cool enough to handle, squeeze as much liquid from the spinach as possible and coarsely chop.

Lower the oven heat to 350 degrees .

Scoop out the center of each onion, leaving at least half an inch of the outer rings, to make onion "bowls". Coarsely chop half of the onion centers, and reserve the remaining for another use. In a mixing bowl combine the chopped onion, spinach, lemon zest, eggs, cayenne, breadcrumbs, chopped thyme, and feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture evenly among the scooped-out onions. Drizzle the tops with the remaining olive oil and bake for 30 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
