Type: Vegetables
Courses: Side dish
Serves: 8 people

Recipe Ingredients

4   Red onions - halved from root to Stem end with skin left intact
1 1/2 tablespoons 22mlOlive oil
1/4 cup 59mlChicken stock or water
1 teaspoon 5mlBalsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon 5mlSugar
1 teaspoon 5mlFinely-chopped fresh rosemary (or 1/2 tspn dried rosemary)
1 teaspoon 5mlFinely-chopped fresh thyme (or 1/2 tspn dried thyme)
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlSalt
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlFreshly-ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Preheat an oven to 350F. Select a baking dish in which the onion halves will fit in a single layer. Line it with a piece of aluminum foil long enough to extend beyond the ends and fold over to meet in the center. Lightly coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

Place the onions, cut sides up, in the dish. Drizzle the olive oil, chicken stock or water and balsamic vinegar evenly over the onions. Sprinkle with the sugar, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the ends of the foil together to meet in the center, covering the onions loosely.

Bake for 1 hour. Fold back the foil to expose the onions. Continue to bake until the onions are very tender when pierced with a fork, 30 to 45 minutes longer.
