Vidalia Onions For The Grill Food

VIDALIA ONIONS FOR THE GRILL

Steps:

• Cut each onion into approximately 8 wedges.
• Place wedges on a large sheet of aluminum foil.
• Slice butter into dabs and place on top of the onion.
• Add garlic, bouillon cube, and seasoning salt.
• Wrap in foil paper ensuring that the seams are closed tightly. I usually wrap again with another sheet of foil.
• Place foil package on the hot grill for 30 to 40 minutes, turning frequently.

GRILLED SIRLOIN STEAK AND VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat your grill. Peel and slice onions about 3/4-inch thick. Brush oil on onions, place on hot grill and cook until they are translucent. Season steaks with rotisserie blend seasoning, salt and pepper and cook on grill to desired doneness. Arrange on serving plate with onion disks in middle of plate, and serve.

FRIED VIDALIA ONION

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the egg and the milk in a medium sized bowl.
• In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt, peppers, oregano, thyme, and cumin.
• Slice 1/2-an inch off the top of the onion and the bottom of the onion. Slice the onion in half, about 3/4-of the way down without slicing all the way through. Slice into quarters, then into 1/8s. Repeat this until you have cut the onion into 14 sections. Spread the "petals" of the onion apart and dip the onion in the milk mixture. Then coat it liberally with the dry ingredients. Separate the "petals" and sprinkle the dry coating between them.
• Place the battered onion in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined sheet tray and season with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine ingredients and whisk together. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with Fried Vidalia Onion.

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.

BAKED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Get the biggest Vidalias you can find. Peel and cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of the onion so that it sits flat in a casserole dish. Take out a little of the core and cut a bit X in the top of the onion. Place each onion on a large square of aluminum foil.
• Top with pat of butter, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, to taste. Place in dish and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, or until tender (check on these; you don't want it overcooked and too soft).
• Variation: Prepare onions as above, but instead of Worcestershire sauce, pour on about 2 Tablespoons of Kahlua before baking. It makes them nice and sweet. You can also put these on a gas grill or nestle them right down into the charcoal (use heavy-duty aluminum foil).

BBQ VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat grill to high.
• Whisk together all spices in a small bowl until combined. Brush onions with oil on both sides. Rub 1 side of each onion with some of the spice mixture and place rub side down on the grill. Grill until golden brown and a crust has formed. Turn the onions over and continue grilling until just cooked through.

GRILLED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat grill.
• Core onions with sharp knife so there is a hole in the onion, but don't go all the way through! The butter has to sit somewhere.
• Wrap two strips of bacon around the onion securing with a toothpick.
• Put a teaspoon of butter inside the onion.
• Wrap onion with foil
• Grill onion for about 1 hour and 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
• Cool onions and cut into quarters and serve.

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.
