Roasted Red Onion With Thyme and Butter
Prep and cook time: 30 mins to 1 hour
Serves: 8
Ingredients
8 equal-sized medium to large red onions 242g65c
100g butter
15g pack thyme, washed and picked
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
Preheat the oven 200°C, 400°F, Gas Mark 6.
Remove the first layer of skin from the onions. With a knife, take the bottom of the core end of the onion off to give it a flat base, make 2 cuts in a cross shape in the top, cutting halfway down (do not cut right through into quarters). Scrunch the butter and thyme together, then push it into the gaps in the onions, season with a good pinch of sea salt and pepper. I prefer to cook the onions tightly packed in an earthenware dish on a thin layer of sea salt. Place in the preheated oven and cook for 30-35 minutes.
