GRILLED ONION BLOSSOM

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon prepared hot horseradish
1 teaspoon store-bought BBQ seasoning
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Olive oil cooking spray, for the pie plate and onion
1 large Vidalia onion
1 tablespoon store-bought BBQ seasoning

Steps:

  • For the dipping sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, horseradish, BBQ seasoning, mustard and some salt and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Store refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to serve.
  • For the onion blossom: Preheat a grill to 350 degrees F. Spay a disposable pie plate with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Peel the onion and trim the root end to remove any hairs. Slice the pointy stem end of the onion off. Turn the onion so the root end is facing up. Leaving a 1/2-inch rim around the root, make 4 cuts into the onion, down to the stem end. This results in 4 sections of the onion. Repeating the same motion, make 3 more cuts into each section of the onion, from root to stem end. Turn the onion over to reveal 16 onion petals. Use your hands to separate the layers of petals as needed.
  • Place the onion stem-side up in the prepared pie plate. Generously spray all of the petals with the olive oil cooking spray. Sprinkle the onion with the BBQ seasoning.
  • Put the onion on the grill and close the grill. Roast at 350 degrees F, checking halfway, until the onion blossom has opened, 40 to 45 minutes. The petals should be tender and darkened on the ends. Carefully remove the onion from the grill. Serve warm with the dipping sauce.

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large Vidalia onion or yellow onion (thinly sliced)
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt (to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter (diced)

Steps:

  • Heat grill to 450°F.
  • Cut a piece of heavy duty foil (or two pieces if using regular foil) approximately 22 inches long.
  • Place thinly sliced onion in the center of the foil and toss with onion and garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Dot the top with butter.
  • Pull the long edges of the foil up, folding them onto each other to create a seal. Then fold in the short edges of the foil to create the packet, making sure all edges are sealed, and leaving enough space in the foil packet for the onions to move when you shake it.
  • Place the foil packet on the grill over direct heat (but not a direct flame). You can also place it over indirect heat to reduce any risk of burning the onions. Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the foil packet halfway through. You can also gently open and stir the onions around halfway through.
  • Gently open the foil packet, allowing the steam to escape. Stir the onions before serving and allow to cool slightly.

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your onion blossoms their flavor. Use a combination of spices, herbs, and oil that you enjoy.
  • Grill the onion blossoms over medium heat: This will help them to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the onion blossoms with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or barbecue sauce are all good options.
