Sophie Dahl’s ‘Voluptuous Delights’ has seen me through my whole shopping list and menu this week. I can’t understand why this book is selling for £3.99 in bargain bookshops already – it’s wonderful! Paris Mash on Monday, Aubergine Parmigiana on Tuesday, Grilled Salmon and Baked Onions on Wednesday…a meatless delight of a week.
I’ll certainly be making these again, as they were deliciously sweet and cheap to make. Here is the recipe, slightly adapted.
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
Peel four smallish onions and boil them whole for twenty minutes, or until the centres are trying to burst out.
Cut them in half and place them inside-up into an ovenproof dish. Individual enamel dishes are perfect. Season with sea salt and pepper. Pour over about 150g single cream and sprinkle with up to 50g parmesan or grana padano.
Bake for 25-30 minutes and serve with grilled salmon, Sunday dinner, sausages, a pork chop, anything!

Delightful old school recipe. Thanks.
Nice not to have to shop for loads of different ingredients too, isn’t it?
What a fabulous side dish.
I know – I’d never thought to do onions as a major vegetable. They are usually just lurking inside something!
I’ve done grilled onions but I like this way too.
Ooooh?
So good on burgers. 🙂
I’ll bet!
These sound wonderful!
Thank you!
