Normalize Eating Whole Onions
Roasted and Braised Onions in a Garlicky Spicy Cream Sauce
These whole roasted and braised onions are beyond delicious. Onions are often an ingredient in a dish, but rarely the main character. But here they take center stage. There is nothing like a roasted onion that goes all sweet and sticky. These are amped up with garlic, Calabrian chili and of course…cream.
These could be the main course for a light lunch served with some spicy arugula simply dressed. Or they would perfectly accompany anything from steak, pork, chicken or fish. So let’s let the whole onion come out from its side kick role and shine. Once you make these, you will find yourself making them again and again.
