A great side for any barbecued meat. I find it easier to lift the onion slices from the grill by using 2 spatulas - one on top and one underneath. It helps to keep the onions from separating. The onion slices must marinate for about 8 hours before grilling so plan ahead. The recipe comes from Southern Living. Ingredients:
8 slices sweet onions, about 1/2 inch thick, about 3 onions |
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 rounds, 1/2 inch thick |
8 large fresh basil leaves |
4 slices fresh tomatoes, about 1/2 inch thick, about 2 tomatoes |
fresh basil sprig |
Directions:
1. Arrange onion slices in a single layer in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
2. Stir together vinegar and next 4 ingredients and pour over onion slices.
3. Cover and chill 8 hours, turning once.
4. Remove onions from dressing with a slotted spatula, reserving dressing.
5. Grill onion slices, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat 2 minutes on each side or until crisp-tender and golden.
6. Layer half of grilled onion slices each with 1 cheese round, 2 basil leaves, and 1 tomato slice; top with remaining half of onion slices.
7. Grill onion stacks, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat 3 minutes or until cheese melts.
8. Serve onion stacks with reserved dressing.
9. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
