GRILLED ONION BLOSSOM

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon prepared hot horseradish
1 teaspoon store-bought BBQ seasoning
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Olive oil cooking spray, for the pie plate and onion
1 large Vidalia onion
1 tablespoon store-bought BBQ seasoning

Steps:

  • For the dipping sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, horseradish, BBQ seasoning, mustard and some salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Store refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to serve.
  • For the onion blossom: Preheat a grill to 350 degrees F. Spay a disposable pie plate with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Peel the onion and trim the root end to remove any hairs. Slice the pointy stem end of the onion off. Turn the onion so the root end is facing up. Leaving a 1/2-inch rim around the root, make 4 cuts into the onion, down to the stem end. This results in 4 sections of the onion. Repeating the same motion, make 3 more cuts into each section of the onion, from root to stem end. Turn the onion over to reveal 16 onion petals. Use your hands to separate the layers of petals as needed.
  • Place the onion stem-side up in the prepared pie plate. Generously spray all of the petals with the olive oil cooking spray. Sprinkle the onion with the BBQ seasoning.
  • Put the onion on the grill and close the grill. Roast at 350 degrees F, checking halfway, until the onion blossom has opened, 40 to 45 minutes. The petals should be tender and darkened on the ends. Carefully remove the onion from the grill. Serve warm with the dipping sauce.

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 large white onions
12 yellow chiles (guero chiles)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Mix together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and lime juice in a large bowl. Peel and quarter the onions, leaving the root- end intact so the onions don't fall apart while cooking.
  • Cut six 6-inch squares of aluminum foil. Put 1 piece of foil on a medium bowl and top with another piece of foil for double-wrapping. Place 2 chiles in the center of each piece of foil and top each chile with the cut onion. Fold up the foil of each packet to form a cup. Pour 1/3 of marinade on top of onions and chiles. Enclose the onions tightly with foil and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, making sure the opening is on the top. Repeat with the remaining onions, chiles and marinade.
  • Roast until the onions are caramelized and the chiles are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool for 10 minutes. Open the packages slightly before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of onion: Sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Maui, are best for grilled onion blossoms.
  • Cut the onions evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the onion slices in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking: This will help them stay crispy.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help add flavor to the onion blossoms.
  • Grill the onion blossoms over medium heat: This will help them cook through without burning.
  • Serve the onion blossoms with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Grilled onion blossoms are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can make this restaurant-quality dish at home.
