Baked Onions With Tomato Sauce

Ready In: 60 Minutes

Prep Time: 25 Minutes

Cook Time: 50 Minutes

Serves 4

Preheat an oven to 350°F (180°C). Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Select a baking dish large enough to hold the whole onions in a single layer and brush the bottom and sides with olive oil.
Peel each onion and cut a shallow cross in the root end. (The cross keeps the inner onion segments from protruding out the top during baking.) Place in the baking dish, root end down.
Fill a saucepan three-fourths full with water and bring to a boil. Core each tomato and cut a shallow cross in the base. Plunge the tomatoes into the boiling water and leave for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove the tomatoes. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skins. Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise and squeeze out the seeds. Chop coarsely and arrange around the onions.
Sprinkle the onions and tomatoes with the oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with the olive oil. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil. Bake until the onions are tender, 45 - 50 minutes.
Transfer the onions to a serving dish and top each onion with some of the tomato sauce.
