Onions on LBGE

Remove the core from the onions.
Stuff a big gob of butter in the hole. 
Sprinkle whatever seasonings you like all over the outside of the onion (I used garlic and cayenne pepper).

    I do something very similar. You're right... they are fantastic!!

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    I've done them both ways with equal success. Just depends on what I'm cooking. If you're doing indirect at a lower temp just cook them a little longer

  • I did direct. I'd say indirect would work also.

    Great recipe, I will be trying it soon.  My current favorite onion recipe is:

    3 red onions cut in half with skin removed
    1/2 stick of butter

    1/4 C balsamic vinegar
    1/3 cup honey
    fresh thyme, salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

    Combine ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce for a few minutes.  Put onions cut sides up on aluminum foil/CI pan/etc. Pour the mixture over the onions and roast indirect @300-350 for 45 minutes to an hour.

    Always act so that you can tell the truth about how you act.

    Mix a boullion cube with the butter. Takes it up a notch

    Lots of sriracha + dab of butter in the core.  Turns out great, not to eat by itself, but slice up to put in pizza, in seared tuna tacos, etc.  I usually make four cuts from the top down to 3/4" from the bottom to partially segment the onion first, then use the foil to keep it all together.  Use lots of sriracha, or could use any hot sauce.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    I learned that one from my mom many years ago. She was a great lowcountry cook. She wasn't about healthy cooking, but lived to be 90. Especially good using a Vidalia! Hope the vacation was / is going well.
