Chilli baked onions

Post: # 102991Post SarahJane »

4 small/medium red onions
1 green chilli very finely chopped
25g margarine
30ml balsamic vinegar

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees c/gas mark 6

Remove the skin from the onions, trim the top and bottomso that they stand level. Make deep cuts to form a star shape in the top of the onion.

Beat the chilli into the soft margarine and press the mixture into the cuts on each onion.

Place in a greased oven proof dish, covered with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40/45 minutes, basting several times during cooking.

Test with the point of a knife to ensure the onions are tender, then drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar.

Serve with a main course as a side dish or as a veggie option.

Really quick, really easy and really cheap!
