About

Almost the size of footballs, Georgia’s famous Vidalia onions are available only in the late spring and early summer, just in time to kick off the barbecue season. When slathered with a mustardy sauce from the same state, smoked Vidalias and other sweet onions become golden orbs of succulence.

Ingredients

3 Vidalia or other large sweet onions
Vegetable oil
Golden Mustard Barbecue Sauce or other mustard-based barbecue sauce

Method

Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the temperature to 200°F to 220°F.
Slice each onion in half through the root and peel the outer layer. Cut down to, but not through, the base of each onion half in crisscross directions to make an onion “flower.” Rub or spray a thin coat of oil over the onions and wrap each half in foil.
Transfer the onions
