Ingredients

• 8 whole Small yellow onions
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 cup Crumbled blue cheese
• 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the small yellow onions, keeping them whole, and trim the root ends slightly without cutting too much to keep the onions intact.

Step 2

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peeled onions and boil for 10-12 minutes until they are tender but not falling apart.

Step 3

Drain the onions and rinse them under cold water to stop cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, black pepper, and thyme leaves to create the marinade.

Step 5

Place the cooked onions into a shallow dish or bowl and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the onions are evenly coated. Let the onions marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 6

When ready to serve, arrange the marinated onions on a serving platter. Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese generously over the onions.

Step 7

Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley for added color and freshness.

Step 8

Serve as an appetizer, side dish, or topping for grilled meats and enjoy!
