A like Jamie Oliver's recipe for baked onion myself.  I stand the onions
upright in a Yorkshire Pudding dish (a baking dish with shallow circular
depressions) with the onions cut in a cross and 1/2 a pat of butter and a sprig
of Lemon Thyme in each Onion.  Pukka Mate!

Cheers,

Drakey.

ps.  I've done them that way substituting Powder Forte for Lemon Thyme for a
Jamie Oliver cross with The Medieval Kitchen kinda concept.  Yumbo.
