A bit of brown sugar and
beef broth add lots of flavor to these easy onions. The ham almost
becomes a side dish for this star performer!
Baked Onions
with Country Ham
8 tablespoons butter,
softened
4 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
8 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
4 tablespoons beef broth
4 teaspoons dried rosemary
4 teaspoons crushed dried thyme
1 cup sliced mushrooms
4 white onions, peeled, ends trimmed
4 ounces diced ham
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 tomato, diced
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cut four 12x12-inch squares of aluminum foil.
Divide butter, brown sugar,
vinegar, broth, rosemary, thyme and mushrooms among foil squares.
Place onions on top of mushroom mixture; draw corners of foil
together to seal.
Place foil packets in
a baking pan and bake until onions are soft, about 40 minutes.
Transfer onions and mushrooms to serving plates, reserving the
cooking liquid. Set aside.
Heat liquid in a saucepan
and stir in ham, green onions and tomato. Season with salt and
pepper to taste; heat through. Serve alongside onions and mushrooms.
