Stewed Spanish Onions

Ingredients

• 5-6 Spanish onions
• 1 pint good broth or gravy

Instructions

1. Peel the onions, taking care not to cut away too much of the tops or tails, or they would then fall to pieces;
2. put them into a stewpan capable of holding them at the bottom without piling them one on the top of another;
3. add the broth or gravy, and simmer _very gently_ until the onions are perfectly tender.
4. Dish them, pour the gravy round, and serve.
5. Instead of using broth, Spanish onions may be stewed with a large piece of butter: they must be done very gradually over a slow fire or hot-plate, and will produce plenty of gravy.
