- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Safeway SELECT Verdi Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound red onions
- Prepare barbecue grill and preheat for direct heat cooking (the charcoal or gas flame is directly under the food).
- Peel onions and cut crosswise into 1/3 inch thick slices. In a large bowl, stir together 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Add onion slices and mix well to coat.
- If cooking over charcoal, use a grill skillet or basket; if cooking over gas, use a grill sheet or basket (lightly brush sheet with oil or spray with cooking oil spray). Transfer onions to grill skillet, sheet, or basket, reserving oil mixture in bowl.
- Place skillet or basket on grill over a solid bed of medium hot coals or medium high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand just above grill level for only 3 to 4 seconds). Keep charcoal grill uncovered; close lid on gas grill. Cook, gently shaking once or twice to turn onions, until brown and limp, about 20 minutes.
- Return onions to bowl and mix to coat with reserved oil mixture. Serve warm or at room temperature.
