Vidalia Onions For The Grill Recipes

GRILLED VIDALIA ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for low heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut the onions into 1/2 inch slices. In a large bowl, combine the onions with the dressing, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
• Cook over low heat, turning once, to desired tenderness. Apply more dressing, if desired.

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 ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel the outer layer of the onion off and carve a large hole in the middle of the onion. Place the beef bouillon cube in the hole as well as the butter and ice cube. The ice cube is going to allow the onion to become moist. Wrap the onion in a few layers of foil then poke the foil with a fork at the top of the hole to allow the onion to vent. This will grill on medium heat for 30 minutes or until the onion is nice and soft.
• Once it is unwrapped it should just fall right apart into pieces. Eat it just as a side dish by itself or garnish the dinner with it.

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.

EASY GRILLED ONIONS IN FOIL

Steps:

• Heat grill to 450°F.
• Cut a piece of heavy duty foil (or two pieces if using regular foil) approximately 22 inches long.
• Place thinly sliced onion in the center of the foil and toss with onion and garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Dot the top with butter.
• Pull the long edges of the foil up, folding them onto each other to create a seal. Then fold in the short edges of the foil to create the packet, making sure all edges are sealed, and leaving enough space in the foil packet for the onions to move when you shake it.
• Place the foil packet on the grill over direct heat (but not a direct flame). You can also place it over indirect heat to reduce any risk of burning the onions. Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the foil packet halfway through. You can also gently open and stir the onions around halfway through.
• Gently open the foil packet, allowing the steam to escape. Stir the onions before serving and allow to cool slightly.

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.

WHOLE GRILLED ONIONS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Slice the stem from the onions and peel them, leaving the root intact. Slice a bit of the root off, just enough to provide a flat end so they won't wobble.
• Working from the top and using a sharp knife, a small melon baller, or apple corer, cut the cores from the onions. You should have a cavity about 1-inch across and almost through to the bottom of the onion without piercing it. Use the cored-out onion pieces for another purpose.
• Salt and pepper the onion cavities and then fill each onion with 1 tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle the onions lightly with a bit more salt and pepper.
• Wrap the onions in foil, gathering at the top and twisting to seal.
• Cook in a closed grill for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours over medium indirect coals .
• Untwist top of foil and spread open about 10 minutes before serving.
• Leave them on the grill for more smoked flavor, if you like.
• Remove the onions to a serving platter.
