Baked Vidalia Fusion Recipes

Steps:

• Quarter onions halfway through and open slightly. Place each on a 18x12-in. piece of heavy-duty foil. Place 2 teaspoons butter in center of each onion; sprinkle with salt, pepper and, if desired, garlic salt. Fold foil to seal tightly. Bake at 350° until onions are tender, 50-60 minutes. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

• With a sharp knife, cut out a 1 inch in diameter by ¾ inch deep cavity in top of onions, reserving scraps.

• Serve as a first course.

Steps:

• Peel onions. Cut an X in the top about 1/3 of the way down through the onion.
• Set each onion on a large square of aluminum foil.
• Top each onion with 1/4 tsp beef soup base, 1/2 tsp butter, and 1 tbs Parmesan (or more if the onions are especially large).
• Wrap in the foil and cook over indirect heat in a medium grill with the lid down (goes well with ribs), OR in a 350F oven for 45-60 minutes or until fully cooked and soft.
• Serve in the foil. Best to provide some crusty bread to sop up the delicious juice.

Steps:

Steps:

• Get the biggest Vidalias you can find. Peel and cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of the onion so that it sits flat in a casserole dish. Take out a little of the core and cut a bit X in the top of the onion. Place each onion on a large square of aluminum foil.
• Top with pat of butter, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, to taste. Place in dish and bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, or until tender (check on these; you don't want it overcooked and too soft).
• Variation: Prepare onions as above, but instead of Worcestershire sauce, pour on about 2 Tablespoons of Kahlua before baking. It makes them nice and sweet. You can also put these on a gas grill or nestle them right down into the charcoal (use heavy-duty aluminum foil).
