These onions are so delicious, we prepare them all year long—on the grill in summer, or in an oven preheated to 350° for the same amount of time in winter. A small salad, a slice of bread, these grilled onions, and you've got a great light meal. —Mary Bilke, Eagle River, Wisconsin

Ingredients

4 large sweet onions
4 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons white wine or beef broth, optional

Directions

Prepare grill for indirect heat. Peel onions, leaving root ends intact. Cut a thin slice from the top of each, then carefully cut a 1-in. hole in the center. Cut each onion into quarters, cutting to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Place each onion on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square).
Sprinkle bouillon, thyme, salt and pepper into centers; top with butter. If desired, drizzle with wine. Fold foil around onions, sealing tightly.
Grill onions, covered, over indirect medium heat until tender, 35-40 minutes. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.
