When you make these grilled onion recipes you just might shed a tear or two, but believe me, the pain is worth it! A few onion tears is a small price to pay for enjoying onions hot off the grill!
There are several common types of onions to choose from for grilling, including the old standbys, red onions, yellow onions and white onions. Yellow onions have the strongest flavor of the three, with the reds usually being the sweetest. However certain types of yellow onions, like the Walla Wallas from Washington and Georgia Vidalias are claimed to be the sweetest of all.
Grilled green onions, scallions, pearl onions and even leeks are great too, and all end up being very tasty. The reason for the good taste is that grilling onions reduces the pungent heat, which brings out the natural sweetness.
