What You'll Need
2 large red onions, peeled, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings
extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
mirin

topping:
4-5 sprigs fresh parsley, finely minced
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup shelled hempseeds

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350º.
Arrange onion slices on a shallow baking sheet, avoiding overlap. Sprinkle
generously with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and mirin. Cover tightly
with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove cover and return to oven until
onions are beginning to brown, 7-10 minutes more.

While the onions bake, make the topping. Combine parsley with lemon zest
and mix very well. In a dry skillet, over low heat, lightly pan toast the
hempseeds. Mix them very well with the parsley and lemon zest. Season
lightly with salt and mix well.

When the onions are ready, remove from oven and transfer to a serving
platter. Mound the topping on each onion slice and serve. Makes 4-8
servings.
