Grilled Green Onions


Cooking onions sweetens them and eliminates their harshness.


2 bunches green onions
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce


Trim root ends off onions; trim onions to 8 inches. In bowl, toss onions with vegetable oil. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until browned and tender, about 4 minutes. Return onions to bowl.

Add soy sauce, sesame oil and hot pepper sauce; toss to coat.



Variations
Herbed Grilled Green Onions: Omit vegetable oil, soy sauce, sesame oil and hot pepper sauce. Substitute 1 tbsp butter, melted; 1 clove garlic, minced; 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs; and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper.

Grilled Asparagus: Use 1 lb thin asparagus spears instead of onions; grill for 6 minutes.

Grilled Carrots: Use 6 carrots, quartered lengthwise, or 16 thin carrots instead of onions; grill for 10 minutes.
