This comes from a copy of 'Southern Living" (Issue unknown)... something I'm pretty sure my mother in law printed out or copied and left in my kitchen. It was worth a shot, and ended up being well worth the minimal effort!!
1 large sweet onion (vadalia is best)
1 beef bullion cube
1 tbsp butter
1
slice the top and bottom off the onion
2
peel the onion
3
cut a shallow (~3/4 to 1 inch deep) cup into the top of the onion , as wide as the piece cut off, forming a kind of "bowl" in the top of the onion.
4
place onion in a microwave safe bowl
5
place bullion cube and butter in the hole in the onion
6
place lid on the bowl, and microwave for 8 minutes
7
quarter onion, allowing petals to drop into the "sauce" in the bowl, and serve
