Grilled Vidalia Onions Recipes

GRILLED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Cut top and root end from onions. Peel and rinse. Make two cuts into each onion without going all the way through, making quarters that stay together. Core the middle of the onion.
• Place each onion in the middle of a foil square large enough to securely wrap the onion. Put 1/4 tsp of beef boullion granules into the middle of each onion. Crush about a 1/4 tsp of rosemary on to the top of each onion. Top with 1 Tbs of butter. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Securely wrap each onion. I double wrap so juices don't leak out. Place on medium grill for 30-40 minutes until soft when squeezed.
• Serve as side dish. We serve in the foil packet.

GRILLED VIDALIA ONIONS WITH BACON BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Cut onion top and "backtail" so onion can sit flat. Peel the onion. Using a parking knife cut a hollow cone-like shape into the center of the onion making sure not to go all the way to the bottom. Salt and pepper to the cavity. Place onions on individual squares of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Add the butter, bacon, blue cheese, and thyme to a bowl and mix until well combined. Add large dollops of the butter to each cavity of the onions. Fold the aluminum foil all around the onion, gathering at the top and sealing to create a tent.
• Place on the grill over direct heat and cover the grill. Cook for 30 minutes until onions are soft. Let cool for 5 minutes before opening the foil packet and serving.

GRILLED VIDALIA ONION SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare the grill for cooking over direct high heat.
• Roast the poblanos until they are blistered on all sides, then set them aside in a covered container. Peel the onion and cut it into 3/4 inch slabs. Brush the slices with oil and grill until brown and soft, flipping occasionally. This should take 8 to 10 minutes total. Let cool.
• Peel and chop the poblanos and put them in a medium bowl. Chop the onion and add it to the bowl. Add the tomatoes, pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeno. Mix well. Let rest for 15 minutes and mix again. Add salt as needed and mix again.
