Jammy roasted onions

Makes a wonderful accompaniment to grilled or roasted meats and poultry; with the velvety sweetness of the onions offset by the resonant twang of balsamic. Serve warm or at room temperature. Will keep for about a week, refrigerated in a sealed container. Read more Notes: • Shallots or cipollini onions can also be used; in this case, cut in half or leave whole. • Use a roasting pan that just fits the onions and garlic in a single layer; too big of a pan and the balsamic and honey will burn, too small of a pan and the vegetables will steam rather than roast. • For a sweeter, darker version, substitute an equal amount of dark brown sugar for the honey. • For fans of strong flavours, these onions can be used to top crostini. Add Cambozola and broil for an over-the-top snack. See less

How to make it
- Preheat oven to 450ºF (230ºC).
- In a small saucepan, combine butter, olive oil and herbs. Warm slowly over low heat. Once the butter has completely melted and the herbs are fragrant, remove from the heat and stir in honey. Allow to cool.
- Trim the roots of the onions, but leave intact; peel and slice into quarters lengthways.
- In a roasting dish, toss the onions, garlic and herb oil mixture. Once well coated, drizzle over balsamic vinegar, season with salt and pepper, and toss again.
- Cover with aluminum foil and roast in the middle position of the preheated oven. Every 20 minutes, peel back foil and turn onions with a broad spatula. After one hour, reduce oven temperature to 300ºF (150ºC). Roast for an additional 30-45 minutes, until done to your liking.
