Roasted Red Onions... A simple and easy side dish

Just a quick and simple, but delicious way to serve up onions. Try to use large red onions, because they have a certain natural sweetness that will be emphasized even more when you roast these onions in the oven.

take one large red onion per person
butter or margarine
freshly chopped herbs, such as dill, taragon, parsley
corse sea salt
pepper

Cut the top of the onions, but leave the bottom. Peal the skin from top to bottom. Cross cut the onions till about 3/4 deep. Do not cut them all the way down, because we need the bottom bit to hold the onion together.



Make a herb butter by adding the finely chopped herb(s) to the butter and mix well. Season the cross cut onoions at the cutting edges in the middle of the onion. Then take a generous amount of the herb butter and push it right in the cross cuts of the onions. Make sure you push in in well.


Pre-heat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius. Put the onions on a baking tray and give them about 30-40 minutes in the oven on 200-220 degrees Celsius.



When done, serve up with a good piece of roasted meat or some fatty fish like salmon or hering.

Bon Apetit !
