Roasted Red Onions With Thyme And Butter - cooking recipe

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

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.
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.
Make two cuts in the top in a cross shape cutting 1/2 way through the onion (Do not cut through into quarters!).
Mush the butter and thyme together, and then push into the gaps of the onions. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook the onions tightly packed in a earthen ware dish on a light bed of sea salt.
Place in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes.
