This summer I set myself the goal of really perfecting my grilled onion game. After many failures, I think I have got it. Turmeric, garlic powder, dark soy sauce and white pepper. The sweetness of the onion is balanced out by the soy. Turmeric is just lovely anytime and white pepper adds a bit more punch than black.
Served my new found onions with scotch fillet and a green salad. The punters were very happy.

Pickles on a cheeseburger pizza are perfect. I don't know that I'd put them on a different pizza.

I like that idea of turmeric and dark soy sauce since I’ve never considered tumeric for more than recipe-cooperation and my perception that it’s there for color in a curry. I’ll try yours although I only have the tumeric, black pepper, and low-sodium soy sauce (amusing since I used to enjoy having dark soy sauce and oyster sauce - Lee kum kee ftw!)

are you grilling these onions on a pan or grill? I’m curious since my grilled onions only have EVOO, salt, and cooking wine on pan although I did recently do it on the grill (on foil) when I recently grilled a steak.

You mentioned "cooking wine". Are you referencing the one that sits by vinegars on grocery shelves, or just a cheaper bottle of wine? One of my pet peeves is using that vile "cooking wine" which is basically the same price or more than a $5 bottle of perfectly drinkable wine. It's pretty much the only change I insisted my wife make in her cooking once we were living together, as she used that stuff.

I can't speak for bensyd, but I'll cut large onion rounds and put them on foil with soy and seasoning, then on the grill. I think his mix would be a wonderful flavor to carmelize them on the stove top as well though.

I don’t drink wine at home, so it’s hard to open a bottle to use 2-3 times a week at most for cooking.

Tonight I'm metaphorically visiting France. It will be Chicken with Tarragon and cream, pomme puree and flageolets. Then Brie, Crottin and a good salad with a walnut dressing. The chicken will be washed down with a Jaffelin Bourgogne Ordinairre 2018 and the cheese with a Domaine de La Jasse Vieilles Vignes 2016 from the Languedoc. Not sure that I should be saying Vive La France considering their President's rather quirky behaviour, but I'll give the nation the benefit of the doubt!

Takeout night from Ramshackle Cafe. I’m having the broiled Delmonico with a baked potato and steamed veggies.

I still have cooking wine inventory. Zero reason to waste it. I’m not rich and even if I were, I wouldn’t want to waste food products. I drive past people daily who would gladly eat most people’s food discards.
