When the weekends arrive, there’s a certain allure to a certain dish that makes you want to make it again and again.
Many find that it’s the meal that elevates the seemingly ordinary onion to the status of a flavorful and joyful focal point. Because it combines ease of preparation with an appearance of refined gourmet, this onion dish has quickly become a beloved weekend ritual.
What is it about this onion dish that makes it so tempting? The key is to make the onion the main attraction, rather than a supporting player.
The onions’ inherent sweetness is brought out by roasting or caramelizing them, giving them a deep, rich taste that elevates whatever dish it comes into contact with.
How to Make It:
The key is in the simplicity of the dish and the transformational effect of slow cooking, however the exact ingredients can change based on personal preference. If you want to make your own onion treat for the weekend, here’s a simple recipe:
What you need:
- Big onions, preferably sweeter ones
- Using butter or olive oil
- Salt, just a pinch
- Spices and herbs (rosemary, thyme, or balsamic vinegar are great options)
Get Ready:
- Before you begin roasting, make sure your oven is hot enough. After peeling, slice or wedge the onions thickly.
- For flavor, sauté the onions in butter or olive oil. Season with salt and whatever additional spices or herbs you choose.
- Roasting: Place the onions in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven until they get a gorgeous caramel color. Caramelizing them over low heat in a skillet until tender and browned is your preferred method.
Why Everyone Loves It on Weekends
