CARAMELIZED ONIONS ON THE GRILL



Caramelized Onions on the Grill image

These are absolutely melt in your mouth delicious! You can make them on the grill or in the oven. Even friends of ours that don't care for onions loved these! I would recommend that you use 1 large onion for every 2 people. Some people want one whole onion to themselves so you might want to make some extra! They are also good heated up the next day but we rarely have any extra!

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large Vidalia or sweet onion, peeled and cut into large wedges
2 tablespoons softened butter
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
1 pinch garlic salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
  • Place the onion wedges on a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Dot with butter, then sprinkle with bouillon, garlic salt, and pepper to taste. Fold the aluminum foil into a packet, leaving only a small hole at the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Place packet on preheated grill, and cook until the onions have softened, and cooked to a deep, rich brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the temperature of the grill. Stir the onions after the first 30 minutes, or as needed to keep from burning.

Tips:

  • Use the right onions: Yellow or white onions are best for caramelizing, as they have a higher sugar content. Red onions can also be used, but they will take longer to caramelize and have a slightly different flavor.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them caramelize evenly and quickly.
  • Cook the onions slowly and patiently: Caramelizing onions takes time, so don't rush the process. Cook them over low heat until they are soft, golden brown, and slightly sticky.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the onions from sticking and burning.
  • Stir the onions frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add a little liquid: A splash of water, white wine, or broth can help the onions caramelize more quickly and evenly.
  • Season the onions: Salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar are all good starting points. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onions are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are perfect for topping burgers, hot dogs, and sandwiches. They can also be used in pasta dishes, pizzas, and soups. No matter how you use them, caramelized onions are sure to add a rich, sweet flavor to your dish.
