Why This Recipe Works

In search of a simple cooking method for our grilled onion recipe that would produce an ideal caramelized exterior and still cook the onion through to the centermost slice, we found that cooking the onions over moderate heat, covered with a foil pan, got us where we wanted to be. We stopped the rings from plunging through the grate by skewering them.
