Smoked Onion
Grilled onions are a favorite add on to accompany most grilled meats in my house. Usually a little butter, salt and pepper, and onto the grates. I had this little cast iron butter pot and noticed an onion fit just right into it. So, I took a 1015 (Texas sweet onion), and cut a little off the top and peeled off the outer layers. I did not trim the root end of it. I then made slices from the top, making sure not to cut all the way through the bottom. Then, separate the “petals” some and place into the pot (you could use some crumpled foil to make a bowl). Top with a good helping of butter, salt, pepper and BBQ rub. Smoke or grill until the onion is soft. It will come out like a grilled/smoked bloomin’ onion. Enjoy.
