Braised Sweet Onions

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

2 sweet onions (medium)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
3 sprigs thyme
3 sprigs rosemary

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Peel the onions, trim the root end, and cut each in half; cut each half into 3 wedges. Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion wedges, and season with salt and pepper; sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side.

    Step 2

    Add the chicken stock, thyme, and rosemary; transfer the pan to the oven. Cook, basting the onions periodically with the cooking liquid, until the onions are tender and the stock has reduced and thickened, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven, and serve.
