Whole Roasted Onions With Thyme Food

ROASTED (OR GRILLED) WHOLE ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F or get a heap of coals glowing in your grill.
• Carefully make 8 cuts down to, but not through the root end of each onion. To keep from cutting too far, it helps to put the onion inside a canning ring.
• Working with one onion at a time, place an onion onto a square of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Very gently, push your finger into the top of the onion, to loosen the wedges enough to pour the bouillon granules into the center of the onion.
• Drizzle the onion with 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce.
• Smear 1/2 tablespoon of butter on top of the onion and into the cuts.
• Gather the corners of the foil and wrap tightly. It will look like a giant hershey kiss.
• To bake in the oven:.
• Place all wrapped onions into a baking dish so that they will stay upright.
• Roast in a 400F oven for 45 to 70 minutes or until soft.
• To roast on a grill:.
• Place the onions, individually on the grill grate. Rotate the location of the onions occasionally, being careful to keep them upright. Roast in a covered, hot grill 45 to 70 minutes or until soft.

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.

FRENCH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH THYME

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400°F.
• Mix cauliflower, onions, and garlic together in a large roasting pan.
• Drizzle the vegetables with the oil, season them with the pepper and thyme, and toss gently to coat.
• Roast the vegetables uncovered for 20-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown. If you like, squeeze a little lemon juice over when serving. The smaller you chop the cauliflower, the less time it takes to bake. I love the crunchy brown bits, that's why I chop it all up so small! Enjoy!
