Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 red onions
1 yellow onion
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup good olive oil
1/2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves

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.

4 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary

ROASTED RED ONION WITH THYME AND BUTTER

Number Of Ingredients 0

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 CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS WITH FRESH HERBS



Roasted Cucumbers and Onions with Fresh Herbs image

I invented this recipe out of a need for a way to use the surplus cucumbers from a friend's garden this summer. I had never heard of someone roasting cucumbers, and a quick internet search turned up nothing, so I thought it would make an interesting culinary experiment. As it turned out, though, I discovered a new family favorite! This fast and easy recipe makes a great side dish for any occasion. Great with chicken or steak! I've even eaten it by itself for a light lunch. What more could you ask for?

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

olive oil cooking spray

1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Spread pieces of butter into the baking sheet and lay cucumber spears over the butter. Top with slices of sweet onion and scatter basil, parsley, cilantro, and mint over the top. Spray the vegetables again with olive oil cooking spray.

Tips:

- Opt for red onions that are about the same size for even roasting. - Trim the root end of the onions but leave the top intact to hold the layers together. - Use a sharp knife to slice the onions pole-to-pole, but not all the way through. This will create a fan-like shape when roasted. - Generously drizzle the onions with olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings before roasting. This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. - Roast the onions at a high temperature (425°F) until they are caramelized and tender. This should take about 45 minutes to an hour. - Serve the roasted onions as a side dish with roasted meats, poultry, or fish. They can also be used as a topping for salads, sandwiches, and pizzas.

Conclusion:

Roasted red onions are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be roasted ahead of time. With their sweet and savory flavor, roasted red onions are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
