Grilled Green Onions

18 large green onions
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
salt to taste

Trim onions, leaving about 2 inches of green top.

In a shallow dish, combine olive oil, garlic, pepper, and salt. Add onions; stir to coat onions evenly. Cover dish and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.

When ready to use, preheat barbecue grill. Remove onion from refrigerator, drain and discard marinade. Cook, turning often, 4 to 6 minutes or until lightly browned on all sides. Remove from grill and let cool to room temperature (these hold well while our grill your steaks or other meat).

NOTE: If using small green onions, bundle several together or cook them on a piece of aluminum foil.

HINT: I did this in the iron skillet and the onions were nicely carmalized.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
