Onions with Pepper Butter

• 6 beautiful brown onions
• 120 g (4¼ oz) demi-sel (lightly salted) butter

Cut a cross in the top of the onions, cutting two thirds of the way down. Place 20 g (¾ oz) butter inside each onion, season with a combination of peppers.

Wrap the onions in foil, place them directly on the embers, cover them with more embers (cross facing upwards) for 15 minutes. The onions should be soft to the touch.

Serve with barbecued fish or offal—the acidic note of the
