Plain Boiled Onions

Name: Plain Boiled Onions
Ingredients: 2 large Spanish Onions (Spanish onions are preferred for their mild flavor.); 6 cups Water (Enough to cover the onions.); 1 tsp Salt (To taste); 4 slices Toast (Dry toast, for serving); 2 tbsp Butter (Optional, for serving)

A simple recipe for boiling onions, best served on toast with butter.

Ingredients

2 large Spanish Onions (Spanish onions are preferred for their mild flavor.)
6 cups Water (Enough to cover the onions.)
1 tsp Salt (To taste)
4 slices Toast (Dry toast, for serving)
2 tbsp Butter (Optional, for serving)

Instructions

1Peel the Spanish onions and trim the ends. If the onions are very large, you can cut them in half or quarters to ensure even cooking.
2Place the prepared onions in a large pot and cover them with water. Add salt to the water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for approximately 3 hours, or until the onions are very tender. Check the water level periodically and add more water if necessary to keep the onions submerged.
3Once the onions are tender, drain them well. Serve hot on dry toast. Add butter to the onions on the plate, if desired.
