Roasted Red Onions With Thyme And Butter Recipes

ROASTED RED ONIONS WITH BUTTER, HONEY, AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the butter, vinegar, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute to reduce slightly. 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 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.

ROASTED QUAIL WITH RED GRAPES AND PEARL ONIONS

Steps:

• Clarify butter:
• In a heavy saucepan melt butter over low heat. Remove pan from heat and let butter stand 3 minutes. Skim froth and strain butter through a sieve lined with a double thickness of rinsed and squeezed cheesecloth into a bowl, leaving milky solids in bottom of pan. Pour clarified butter into a jar or crock and chill, covered. Butter keeps, covered and chilled, indefinitely. When clarified, butter loses about one fourth its original volume.
• Roast quail:
• Preheat oven to 475°F.
• In a small saucepan boil vinegar, honey, and thyme sprigs over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Pour glaze through a fine sieve into a small bowl, discarding thyme, and reserve. In another small bowl stir together 2 tablespoons reserved glaze and 2 tablespoons clarified butter.
• In a saucepan of boiling salted water blanch onions 3 minutes. Drain onions and peel.
• Heat a flameproof roasting pan, 15 by 10 by 2 inches, in oven 10 minutes. In heated pan toss onions with remaining tablespoon clarified butter, chopped thyme, and salt and pepper to taste and roast in upper third of oven, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
• While onions are roasting, prepare quail. Rinse quail and pat dry. Season inside and out with salt and pepper. Brush quail inside and out with about one third glaze-butter mixture and tie legs together with kitchen string.
• Add grapes to pan and toss with onions. Arrange quail, breast sides down, over onions and grapes and roast 15 minutes. Turn quail over and baste with about half of remaining glaze-butter mixture. Roast quail, basting with remaining glaze-butter mixture, 10 minutes more, or until juices run clear when fleshy part of a thigh is pierced.
• Discard string from quail and transfer to a platter. Arrange grapes and onions around quail using a slotted spoon and keep warm.
• To pan add reserved glaze and on stovetop boil over high heat 5 minutes, or until thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup. Season sauce with salt and pepper and drizzle over quail.
• Garnish quail with thyme and serve with baked wild rice amandine.

ROASTED RED ONIONS

Steps:

• This recipe works great as a stand-alone dish, but also as a component in Jamie's Steak night from Together - see the full collection of menus here.
• ON THE DAY Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6. Peel the onions, cut into 1cm-thick rounds and place in a large roasting tray. Dot over the butter and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then peel, slice and scatter in the garlic, as well as the sprigs of thyme. Add a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, toss together, then arrange in a single layer. Roast for 30 minutes on the middle shelf, giving the tray a jiggle halfway through. Remove, drizzle with the honey and red wine vinegar, mix well and shake flat. Cover with tin foil until needed.
• TO SERVE When the steak is resting, return the onions to the oven, covered, for 15 minutes, or until sticky and sweet. Before serving, season to perfection, tasting and tweaking.

ROASTED RED ONIONS

Steps:

• Position 1 rack in bottom third and 1 rack in top third of oven and preheat to 450°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil; butter foil generously. Arrange onion wedges cut side down on prepared sheets. Brush onions with melted butter. Mix thyme, salt, and pepper in small bowl; sprinkle over onions. Drizzle with vinegar. Cover baking sheets tightly with foil. Roast onions 20 minutes. Reverse baking sheets from top to bottom and continue to roast until bottoms of onion wedges are brown, about 20 minutes longer. Remove foil. Using spatula, turn onion wedges over; cover with foil and roast until bottoms of onions are brown and edges are slightly crisp, reversing position of baking sheets after 5 minutes, about 15 minutes total. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Refrigerate onions on sheets, covered. Rewarm uncovered in 350°F oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.)
