Number Of Ingredients 3

1 Vidalia onion
1 vegetable, chicken, or beef bouillon cube
1-2 Tbsp. butter

Steps:

  • Use a paring knife to cut a 1 inch deep cone into the top of the onion.
  • Insert a vegetable, chicken or beef bouillon cube into the hole.
  • Fill the rest of the hole with butter, about 1-2 tablespoons. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the filled onion on a sheet of foil large enough to encase it.
  • Wrap the onion in foil, bringing the edges up in the center. Twist the foil together to seal the onion in. Place the foil-wrapped onion on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes, until the onion is tender. Serve warm.

BAKED VIDALIA ONIONS



Baked Vidalia Onions image

Lordy, Lordy, how my mother loved these baked Vidalia onions. You can only grow Vidalia onions in Georgia. Now I don't know why but that's what the Vidalia Onion Committee says. They start hitting the stores in late spring and run through the whole summer. The Jay Cees and other groups sell them each year also. My daughters...

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 large vidalia onion (1 per person)
1 Tbsp butter (1 per onion)
1 beef bouillon, cubes (1 per onion)

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill. Trim a slice from the top of each Vidalia Onion, and peel the Vidalia Onion without cutting off the root end. With a potato peeler, cut a small cone-shaped section from the center of the Vidalia Onion. Cut the Vidalia Onion into quarters from the top down, stopping within a half inch of the root end. Place a bouillon cube in the center, slip slivers of butter in between the sections, and sprinkle with pepper. Wrap each Vidalia Onion in a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Place the Vidalia Onions directly onto the hot coals and cook for 45 minutes, turning every so often. Or, bake the foil-wrapped Vidalia Onions in a 350°F oven for about 45 minutes. Serves one onion per person.
  • 2. Or you can prepare onions and wrap in Saran Wrap and put in microwave for 19 minutes.

Roasted in the oven or on the grill, these onions are simple and tasty. They taste like French onion soup, and smell great. In college I used to put it on the top of my gas stove! Still delicious just the same. Very very easy and loads of flavor.
