Grilled Walking Onions

Amy asked me to show you one of her favorite ways to eat walking onions, grilled.
Grilling onions makes them meltingly sweet and mild.

First you want to heat up your grill good and hot, and wash your bunch of walking onions.

Cut off the root end and the tough tops and toss the onions in a bowl with some olive oil and some salt and pepper.

Trimmed Onions

Put the onions on your hot grill, and keep turning them every 2 or 3 minutes. You want a good even char on the outside of the onions and the inside to be cooked through, not raw. It will probably take 12 to 15 minutes total to grill the onions.

See how the inside of the onion is translucent and the outside is charred? That’s what you want.

You can serve them right off the grill like this. I made a mushroom risotto with the fabulous mushrooms from Hazel Del so I added my grilled onions to that dish.

Chopped Onions

Yum. I am so happy CSA has started again. Yay for fresh local food!
