Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 small yellow onions -- 4 to 5 ounces each

peeled

6 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

salt - preferably coarse -- to taste

freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

4 teaspoons unseasoned dry bread crumbs

 

Don't be inclined to overlook this simple recipe.Seasoned with salt

and pepper, sprinkled with plain bread crumbs drizzled with olive

oil, then stashed in the oven for about seventy-five minutes these

caramelized onions literally melt in your mouth.

 

Preheat the oven to 350F. Bring a large saucepan or medium stockpot

of water to a boil over high heat. Add the onions, reduce the heat

slightly, and simmer briskly for 5 minutes. Drain and let cool

slightly.

 

When the onions are cool enough to handle,, cut them in half

crosswise. Lightly oil a shallow baking dish or pie plate just large

enough to hold the halved onions in a single layer. Rub the rounded

outsides of the onion halves evenly with 2 teaspoons of the oil.

Arrange in the prepared dish.

 

Season each onion half with salt and pepper.Sprinkle each half with

1/2 teaspoon of the bread crumbs. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of the

remaining oil on top of each half.Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or

until the tops are browned and caramelized. Serve warm.
