Smoked Vidalia onions

Legume · June 2018

Bought a big bag of onions yesterday, more than we would use fresh, so I tossed five on the egg after some ribs finished cooking, skin and all. They ran at 325 for a little over an hour, then I pulled them and put them in a foil covered bowl to cool overnight.

Peeled this morning, froze a couple and have one soaking in balsamic right now. Not super smoky as the chunks in the fire were long gone. Smoke is subtle, taste is great. They didn’t get mushy, so they’ll tolerate more cooking when I decide to use them.

That makes a great side or topping. Great idea.

Cut the top off one and put a big pat of Kerrygold garlic butter on them before smoking. Will change your world!!!!!!!

Yep, do this frequently with lots of different things - the French onion bombs are a favorite. Just trying here to get them to more of a preserved state for later.

I've had this one bookmarked for some time.

I think the last one I did was around 300 for an 1 1/2 hours. Really just depends on how soft you want it. I like them when they still have a little bite to them.

Love me some onions. We also do this with Cherry Tomatoes... goes great as a dip, on pizza, by themselves with a toothpick - lots of stuff.
