Dry Roasted Brown Butter Onions Recipes

DRY-ROASTED BROWN BUTTER ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut white onions, larger cipolline onions, and shallots almost in half, leaving root ends intact. Pry each open slightly to expose cut sides. Place white onions root side down in a foil-lined roasting pan and roast until just beginning to soften and brown, 75-90 minutes.
• Add cipolline onions and shallots to roasting pan root end down and roast until all onions and shallots are soft and deeply colored, about 1 hour longer.
• Just before onions finish cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan and cook, swirling occasionally, until butter is brown and smells nutty, 5-8 minutes. Let cool slightly; whisk in vinegar and season brown butter with salt.
• Divide onions and shallots among plates, leaving skins on; spoon brown butter over.

Place the onions, cut sides up, in a single layer on a baking pan. Drizzle the butter-vinegar mixture over and roast until soft and slightly caramelized, about 45 minutes.

JAMIE OLIVER'S WORLD'S BEST BAKED ONIONS

Steps:

• Boil the onions in plenty of water for 15 minutes or until slightly tender.
• Remove the onions from the pan and allow to cool.
• With a sharp knife, remove the top inch of each onion, finely chop and place to one side.
• Slightly trim the stalk end of the onions so that the onions will sit flat on a roasting tray.
• Taking care to keep the outside of each onion intact, cut about a heaped tablespoon of onion out from the inside of each onion.
• Finely chop these removed sections of the onion and add to the rest of the chopped onion.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat a saute pan and add a little olive oil, the garlic, the chopped onions, and just a little of the chopped rosemary.
• Saute for a couple of minutes until the garlic and onion have softened, then turn the heat down, add the cream and remove the onions and garlic from the heat.
• Stir in the Parmesan and season.
• Wrap a slice of pancetta around the middle of each onion and spike it in place with a sharpened twig of rosemary or a wooden toothpick.
• Place the onions on a roasting tray and spoon some of the chopped onion mixture inside each one.
• Bake in the preheated oven for around 25 minutes until the onions are soft and tender.
• How long this takes is, of course, dependent on the size of the onions. "It's cool to experiment with different cheeses, so give it a bash," says Jamie.
• I presume he is suggesting topping the baked onions with cheese.
• When the onions are cooked right through, remove and serve.

ROASTED RED ONION WITH THYME AND BUTTER

Steps:

• Try to get 6 equal-sized medium to large red onions. Remove the first layer of skin. With a knife, just take the bottom of the core end of the onion off, to give it a flat base, and make 2 cuts in a cross-shape in the top, cutting half way down (do not cut right through into quarters). Push some chopped or pounded fresh thyme into these gaps with a good pinch of salt (it's important to get the salt right into the gaps) and a little knob of butter. I prefer to cook the onions in an earthenware dish on a thin layer of sea salt or I put them in with my roast chicken or lamb and they cook quite happily in the same tray. Place in the oven fat 200C/400 F/Gas 6 for 30-35 minutes.
• These onions are great with a roast, so tasty and sweet.

ROASTED RED ONIONS WITH THYME AND BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Remove the 1st layer of skin from the onions. With a knife take off the bottom core end of the onion to give it a flat base.
• Make two cuts in the top in a cross shape cutting 1/2 way through the onion (Do not cut through into quarters!).
• Mush the butter and thyme together, and then push into the gaps of the onions. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper.
• Cook the onions tightly packed in a earthen ware dish on a light bed of sea salt.
• Place in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes.
