Grilled Whole Onion Recipe

Grilled whole onions are infused with deep smokey flavor. This versatile side perfectly accompanies a juicy grilled steak, pork chops or whole grilled chicken! Otherwise, cut out the core and use the onion petals as a flavorful topping to brats, hotdogs or hamburgers! It is really a versatile creation!

Ingredients

  • 1 Whole Onion
  • 1 Bouillon Cube
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Butter

Instructions

  • Using a paring knife cut out the core of the onion without cutting out the root.
  • Working in a circle make deep slits towards the onion's center but do not cut the outer layer. Cuts should be ½" apart.
  • Fill cut out hole with butter, bouillon and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Wrap onion in heavy duty tin foil.
  • Place on grill in indirect heat and grill for 1 hour, or until onion is soft.

Notes

This can be made in the oven as well by baking at 375 degrees, but it will lack some smokey grilled flavor.
