Smothered Onions

Very finely sliced white onions softened under cover in butter, first on the stove and then in the oven.

Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Heat a conventional oven to170°C. Peel the four good-sized white onions, halve them and slice them very finely. Toss with the half teaspoon of salt and three saltspoons of ground white pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the tablespoon of melted butter in a saucepan suitable for both hob and oven. Add all the sliced onions and cover closely with an oven-safe plate or fitted lid. Cook gently on the hob for about five minutes, keeping the onions from catching.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer the covered pan to the oven for about thirty-five minutes as a guide, continuing until the onion slices are very tender and softened in their own juices. Reduce the heat if necessary to prevent scorching. Remove and use hot as required.
