Miso butter onions (Inspired by Ottolenghi)

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 240⁰C.

You will need approximately 5 medium sized onions, skinned and cut vertically into halves, enough to fit in your baking dish without touching each other.

Whisk together 500ml warm water,

70g melted butter (vegan butter substitute works well) and

40g miso paste (light or dark).

Place the onion halves cut surface down in the baking dish.

Pour in enough of the miso butter broth to come two-thirds of the way up the onions. Seal with foil and bake for 35 mins.

Remove the foil, using a spoon, carefully turn the onions cut side up and continue baking for at least 30 mins. basting every 10 mins.

After the 30 mins. have elapsed, continue basting every 5 mins. until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are golden brown.

Be careful!... in the latter stages the sauce dries out and burns very easily.
