Whole Grilled Onions:
Use delicious sweet onions, such as Vidalias, in this easy recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
4 large sweet onions
salt and pepper
butter
PREPARATION:
Remove any dry skin and stem from onions. Working from the top, core the onions, leaving a cavity about 1 inch across and almost through to the bottom of the onion. Salt and pepper the onion cavities, then fill with butter.
Sprinkle onions all over with salt and pepper; wrap in foil, gathering at the top and twisting to seal. Cook in closed grill in for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours over medium indirect coals. Open foil 10 minutes before serving and leave on the grill for more smoked flavor.

small white and purple onions are cooked and served
in a Cajun-spiced white sauce.

mixture of small white and purple onions
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon paprika

PREPARATION:

and enough water to cover. Bring onions to a boil;
cover and cook 20 to 25 minutes, until tender.
Drain and reserve the cooking liquid; set onions and cooking
liquid aside.
In the same saucepan, melt butter; blend in flour.
Gradually add half-and-half or milk; cook, stirring constantly,
until mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
