Grilled Onion

Onion just off the grill.

    My husband showed me this trick years ago. It's such an easy way to come up with a quick side dish. Everyone has an onion handy. When you coat it in butter and add some beef base, you have a tender, flavorful extra that can really top off a meal. This side dish goes well with steaks, chops or as a topping for burgers and brats. Versatility is sometimes a great thing and it's so very easy to do.
