Grilled Stuffed Onions


Hollow out your onions with an ice cream scoop

I soak mine in water for 12 hours before I stuff them

Stuffing
1 garlic clove
4 OZ of Feta Cheese
7-10 pounds of spinach
1 red pepper chopped.
8 OZ of ground lamb.
S and P to taste

Stuff and Grill

You can use indirect heat if you want the onions to slow cook. You could also smoke them. I like the char them up so I use direct heat.
