Description
Grilled onions are sweet with a mellow flavor that pairs beautifully with beef and other meats. Serve these grilled onions with steaks or sausage, or chop up the onions and add them to eggs or potatoes.
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet onions
- 4 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
- 1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 teaspoons white wine or beef broth, optional
Directions
- Prepare grill for indirect heat. Peel onions, leaving root ends intact. Cut a thin slice from the top of each, then carefully cut a 1-in. hole in the center. Cut each onion into quarters, cutting to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Place each onion on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square).
- Sprinkle bouillon, thyme, salt and pepper into centers; top with butter. If desired, drizzle with wine. Fold foil around onions, sealing tightly.
- Grill onions, covered, over indirect medium heat until tender, 35-40 minutes. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.
