    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Trim both ends of each onion, so they have a flat base and will sit upright, then cut in half widthways. Arrange cut-side up in a 23cm, 1.5ltr baking dish.
    2. Mix the cream, milk, anchovies and garlic with some black pepper. Pour over the onions, then arrange the sage leaves on top. Mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan and scatter over the top. Bake for 1 hr or until golden and bubbling.
    • Tip: To make this recipe vegetarian, leave out the anchovies and use vegetarian Italian-style hard cheese.
