Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 500°F. Using an onion cutting guide, make even slices into the onion, ensuring not to slice through the end. (This can also be done carefully by hand without a guide.)
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley. Brush the mixture onto the sliced onion. Gently separate the onion layers to ensure the oil mixture covers the onion thoroughly.
- If using a special kit, place the onion on the metal onion cooker with the sliced side facing down, and cook over high heat for twenty minutes. If NOT using a special kit, place the onion on an 8x8 sheet of foil with the 'petals' facing up; gently wrap the sides of the onion with the foil, leaving the top open. Cook over high heat for twenty minutes.
- Remove the onion from the heat and gently cut in half to resemble a lotus flower. Serve as a garnish with grilled steaks, chicken, or seafood. Enjoy!
