Vidalia Onion Pie

First of all, I want to apologize to all who do not have access to these southern gems. Though this produce is shipped widely throughout the states, many of you will never know the reward of this sweet, succulent allium. Vidalia onions have a trademark and are easily identified by the Vidalia sticker on each onion. Of course, its taste is proof alone. I can eat one almost like an apple, just peel and enjoy; it is that sweet.







I love to grill Vidalia onions on the grill by slicing off the top, peeling off the outing thin skin and scooping out a small cavity in the center. Add a tad of salt and pepper, a pat of butter and give it a wrap in foil. Grill for about 30 minutes. (I also like to pour about a quarter cup of beer into the foil pouch too.)



Now for today?s recipe ~ Enjoy!
