About

Here, the most simple of ingredients are turned into something special with very little effort. The baked onions are served simply with steamed rainbow chard, but they would also be delicious with a cauliflower purée made by boiling the florets in vegetable stock, then blending them with a little single cream and salt and pepper.

Ingredients

4 onions, unpeeled
4 thick slices of country-style bread
4 tbsp

Starter
Vegan

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4. Trim the root end of each onion so it stands up and then slice a cross into the top, cutting about halfway down. Remove any loose skin from the onions, put each one on a slice of bread and transfer to a small baking tin. Spoon
