Roasted Red Onions With Thyme And Butter Food

ROASTED RED ONIONS

Steps:

• Halve 2 pounds unpeeled red onions; toss in a large bowl with 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika and a pinch each of sugar and salt. Place the onions cut-side down on a baking sheet; roast at 450 degrees until soft and browned, 30 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.

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 - JAMIE OLIVER

Steps:

• Try to get 6 equal-sized medium or large red onions. Peel away the outermost layer of onionskin. Carefully slice off the core end of each onion to create a flat base. Make two cuts at right angles through the top of the onion, cutting only halfway through.
• Push some chopped fresh thyme and kosher salt down into the cuts, along with a tablespoon of soft butter for each onion.
• Cook in an earthenware dish, or in a roasting pan on a layer of kosher salt or sea salt. Place in a preheated 400F oven for 30-35 minute.
• You can also tuck the onions into the roasting pan with your chicken or lamb as it roasts.

HERB-ROASTED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the stem end of each onion and carefully slice off the brown part of the root end, leaving the root intact. Peel the onion. Stand each onion root end up on a cutting board and cut the onion in wedges through the root. Place the wedges in a bowl.
• For the dressing, combine the lemon juice, mustard, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Pour the dressing over the onions and toss well.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer the onions to a sheet pan, reserving the vinaigrette that remains in the bowl. Bake the onions for 30 to 45 minutes, until tender and browned. Toss the onions once during cooking. Remove from the oven, and drizzle with the reserved dressing. Sprinkle with parsley, season to taste and serve warm or at room temperature.

TOAD-IN-THE-HOLE WITH RED ONIONS & THYME BATTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan oven 180C. Tip the onions into a small shallow non-stick tin (about 23x30cm/ 9x12in). Arrange the sausages on top of the onions, then add the oil and roast for 20 minutes.
• While they are roasting, make the batter. Sift the flour into a bowl, drop the egg in to the centre and beat in the milk a little at a time until it makes a smooth batter. Stir in the mustard and thyme and season.
• Pour the batter quickly into the tin and return to the oven for 40 minutes until the batter is risen and golden. Serve with steamed carrots and cabbage.
