BARBECUE PEARL ONIONS
When I create sauces or rubs from scratch, I don't measure. I created this one today to use on frozen pearl onions I had. Since today is jammie day in our house, I was not going to get dressed and go out, so I had to use things I already had in the house. It was also Memorial Day, so we had to grill something. I served this with an herb marinated pork loin. **Notes: 1. These measurements are approximates. This was a pour and dump recipe. 2. If you change anything make sure you post it in the comments. 3. When I made this I defrosted the onions in the marinade.**

Steps:
- Prepare outdoor or indoor grill.
- In a very small saucepan heat rosemary and vinegar over low heat until hot, but not boiling. Remove pan from heat and cover. Let stand for 20 minutes so that the vinegar becomes infused with the rosemary.
- In a metal measuring cup heat oil over low heat or microwave until warm. (Heating thins oil, making it easier to brush sparingly over onions.) If you are using an indoor grill, place slices on the grill. For an outdoor grill, use a grilling basket to keep onion slices from falling through. If you don't have a basket, place a soaked bamboo skewer through the rings parallel to the cuts so that they do not tumble through the grill. Brush both sides of each slice lightly with oil. Season onions with salt and pepper and grill 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until lightly charred and softened.
- Transfer onions as grilled to a large bowl, separating rings, and toss with vinegar mixture, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve onions warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose the right onions: For this recipe, small to medium-sized red pearl onions are ideal. They should be firm and have no signs of sprouting or bruising.
- Trim the onions: Trim the root end of the onions and remove any loose or dry outer layers.
- Parboil the onions: Parboiling the onions helps to soften them slightly and reduce their cooking time on the grill. To parboil, bring a pot of water to a boil and add the onions. Boil for 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are just tender. Drain the onions and rinse them with cold water.
- Skewer the onions: Thread the parboiled onions onto metal or wooden skewers. Make sure to leave a little space between each onion so that they cook evenly.
- Season the onions: Drizzle the onions with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a marinade or glaze to the onions for extra flavor.
- Grill the onions: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers of onions on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the onions are tender and slightly charred. Be sure to turn the skewers occasionally so that the onions cook evenly.
- Serve the onions: Remove the onions from the skewers and serve them immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a side dish to grilled meats, fish, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Grilled red pearl onions are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be cooked on a grill or in a grill pan. With their sweet and slightly smoky flavor, grilled red pearl onions are sure to be a hit at your next barbecue or gathering.
