directions
- Peel the onions and push a single clove into the base of each. Place in a greased oven-proof dish, spoon over the beef stock and then season with salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste. Gently heat the butter until it just melts and then spoon it over the onions.
- Bake in a preheated moderate oven (Mk 3 - 325ºF - 170ºC) for 75-90 minutes until tender. Place a sugar cube on top of each onion and sprinkle with caster sugar (superfine sugar). Cook under a pre-heated hot grill until the sugar is completely melted (caramelised). Serve hot with roast or grilled meat.
- If you don't have the time or inclination to make your own beef stock, you can substitute a beef stock cube dissolved in 5fl oz (150ml - ¼pt) hot water.
