Grilled Sweet Onions

“These onions are so delicious; we prepare them all year long—on the grill in summer, or in an oven preheated to 350° for the same amount of time in winter. A small salad, a slice of bread…and you've got a great light meal.” This recipe from Mary Bilke of Eagle River, Wisconsin, is sure to become a favorite!

4 large sweet onions
4 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 teaspoons white wine or beef broth, optional

With a sharp knife, carefully remove a 1-in. core from the center of each onion. Cut each onion into four wedges to within 1/2 in. of root end.
Place each onion on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Place bouillon in the centers of onions; top with butter, thyme, salt and pepper. Drizzle with wine or broth if desired. Fold foil around onions and seal tightly.
Prepare grill for indirect heat. Grill onions, covered, over indirect medium heat for 35-40 minutes or until tender. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

Yield: 4 servings.

I didn’t have any beef bouillon granules so I smashed a bouillon cube.
I found this in Simple & Delicious Magazine. This is one of my favorites on the grill, taste like French Onion Soup I served it with Garlic Bread.; I also baked it in the oven.
