Red Onion Lotus Flower

This red onion was a cinch to make bursting open to reveal a gorgeous lotus flower. And the flavour was simply amazing!

Ingredients:

1 large red onion

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 

1 tbsp olive oil 

a few grinds of pink Himalayan salt

Peel the onion then cut the top off. Leave the root end intact. Make 4 cuts almost right to the bottom. Using a chopstick on each side of the onion helps prevent slicing right through.

Place in a baking dish and drizzle the top with vinegar and oil. Add salt to taste. Let sit 10 minutes.

Then cover and bake in a 300°F oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and return to the oven for 10 minutes.

Using a large spoon carefully lift the lotus flower out of the baking dish and onto your plate.
