Roasted Red Onions With Thyme and Butter

I love onions! Red onions are some of my favorite because they have such a wonderful taste when roasted. I got this recipe from Jaime Oliver. I hope you will agree it's a wonderful recipe

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 8  medium red onions (equal size, med-large)
• 3 1⁄2 ounces butter
• 1⁄2 ounce  packed thyme, rinsed and picked
•  sea salt, to taste
•  pepper, fresh ground to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Remove the 1st layer of skin from the onions. With a knife take off the bottom core end of the onion to give it a flat base.
3. Make two cuts in the top in a cross shape cutting 1/2 way through the onion (Do not cut through into quarters!).
4. Mush the butter and thyme together, and then push into the gaps of the onions. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Cook the onions tightly packed in a earthen ware dish on a light bed of sea salt.
6. Place in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes.
