Does anyone else smoke onions? Chop up a bunch of onions, load them into a wire-mesh basket, and smoke for 1 or 2 hours. These things are great in anything you want to add a smokey flavor to. They also make a great base for BBQ sauce.

Yes, I usually smoke onions, and other veggies as well. After smoking the onions, saute' the onions with mushrooms, butter and a little balsamic vinegar for a real good flavor for steak and hamburgers......you can eat this for breakfast in your omellete !!!

Oh, that sounds REALLY good!

I used them in my home made canned salsa

That sounds great, too. What else do you put in it? Is your recipe posted?

there are salsa discussions you can search forin this Forum.But basically substitute smoked vegetables for fresh except I only did half smoked half not on the tomatoes.dls also put a gazpacho recipe in a discussion using smoked vegetables that is very delish

I smoke my onions whole.

Take a large onion, remove the outer papery skin the way a pitcher rubs a baseball, and stick it in the smoker for an hour to 3 hours.

Real easy and no prep. Make plenty, at our table most eat more than one.

Roger , what temp do you use on onions?

90proof; Any temp. Bake them like a potato.

They are cheap and easy. Full of moisture and nearly impossible to dry out.

I'm trying this tonight. I have 3 HUGE sweet onions!

Smoked onions soud great, I think I will put some in while I heat up the smoker for my turkey.
Thank you all for great smokin ideas.

The turkey was great and a big surprise was the flavor of the onions. I quartered and onion a put it in the cavity. When the turkey was done I tried a piece of onion and it was great. All my children loved them too. They were sweet and had a flavor that differed from any other way we've cooked the before.

with due respect.
smoked onions eaten whole sounds like a recipe for GAS! lol.
i ate TOO MANY roast onions hours before a 24hr bus trip years ago. i didn't have many friends! DON'T EVER TRY IT!
but it could have been the beer!

We don't eat them whole; we cut them up and use a fork.
