Roasted Onion Flowers

• Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees.
• Peel onions and cut into 8 pieces, leaving root intact, so each onion is still in one piece.
• Arrange onions onto an oiled baking tray, pour a little oil over them and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake onions until they have opened like flowers, approx. 20 min.
• Add some balsamico or sherry vinegar and and spoon over some of the oil which has collected in the tray.
• Grill for another 15 minutes.

Supposed to be good with steak, but I had rucola salad with mozzarella.

Vegetable Bible

One of my big passions is cookery books.

I`m sure I`ve got one on most topics, apart from meat (which I don`t eat).

This one here is half cookery book and half reference book and invaluable for me

if I, yet again, find something in my organic vegetable box which I don`t usually buy

and don`t quite know how to prepare this.

Apart from offering two or three full recipe suggestions for each vegetable

Sophie Grigson gives lots of other suggestions on how best to prepare them

and what other food will best compliment its flavour.
