Roasted Red Onion With Thyme And Butter Recipes

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.

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 BUTTER, HONEY, AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter, vinegar, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute to reduce slightly. 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.

ROASTED RED ONIONS

Steps:

• Position 1 rack in bottom third and 1 rack in top third of oven and preheat to 450°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil; butter foil generously. Arrange onion wedges cut side down on prepared sheets. Brush onions with melted butter. Mix thyme, salt, and pepper in small bowl; sprinkle over onions. Drizzle with vinegar. Cover baking sheets tightly with foil. Roast onions 20 minutes. Reverse baking sheets from top to bottom and continue to roast until bottoms of onion wedges are brown, about 20 minutes longer. Remove foil. Using spatula, turn onion wedges over; cover with foil and roast until bottoms of onions are brown and edges are slightly crisp, reversing position of baking sheets after 5 minutes, about 15 minutes total. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Refrigerate onions on sheets, covered. Rewarm uncovered in 350°F oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.)
