Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

In this dish, the onions are stuffed with butter and herbs and roasted whole. They make a lovely simple dinner along with the easy tomato and cannellini bean stew.

Ingredients

4 red onions
A handful of fresh thyme springs
A handful of fresh rosemary sprigs
75g butter
1 x 400g tin of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
250g cherry tomatoes
200ml vegetable stock
2 bay leaves
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
½ lemon, juice only
100g feta cheese, crumbled
A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/ gas 6. Cut a tiny section off the base of each onion, so that it sits upright, then cut a deep cross in it, making sure not to cut all the way through. Transfer to a roasting tin, and stuff each one with a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme and a quarter of the butter.

Tip the cannellini beans, tomatoes and stock into the tin alongside the onions and add the remaining herbs and the bay leaves. Season the onions and tomatoes well with sea salt and black pepper, then transfer to the oven and roast for 1 hour.

Once cooked through, season the cannellini beans with the lemon juice and salt to taste. Scatter over the crumbled feta and parsley and serve hot.
