Roasted Onions with Balsamico

total time:: 2 hr

Serves 4

When onions are roasted they become quite sweet. This recipe counters that sweetness with a touch of sour balsamic vinegar to produce a rich and complex flavor.

ingredients

2 large yellow onions, unpeeled
4 teaspoons unsalted butter
8 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper

directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Cut the onions in half through the root and stem. Cut a tiny flat spot on the round side of each half so it will lay still in the baking dish
3
Butter a baking dish and place the onions evenly throughout it. Place a teaspoon of butter on each onion half. Season with salt and pepper. Bake covered for 50 minutes until onions are soft.
4
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle 2 teaspoons of vinegar on each onion half. Spread the onion sections to allow the vinegar to penetrate the onions.
5
Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
6
Allow onions to cool to room temperature before serving in their skins.
