- Serves:

2-4
ingredients
- 1 large sweet onion, sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds (Walla Walla, Vidalia, Mayan, etc)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup sherry wine
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 teaspoon regular chili powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried chipotle powder, to taste
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, additional
directions
- Mix together the sage, chili powders, cumin, salt, and pepper and divide into 4 portions.
- Place the bottom round of onion on a sheet of aluminum foil, sprinkle with 1 Tbsp sherry, then 1 Tbsp olive oil; sprinkle with 1 portion of the spice mixture, then place another round on top.
- Repeat until layers are complete; drizzle whole onion with oil and pour over remaining sherry.
- Pull long sides of foil up and over; bring edges together and fold over 3 times; fold each short end over 3 times to form tightly sealed package.
- Let marinate 1 hour at room temperature.
- Prepare grill; grill packet 5 inches above medium heat, covered with lid, for 30 minutes or until tender, turning 1 or 2 times.
- Open packet, serve, and enjoy!
- OR, the simple and easy method: get the onion ready and have the containers of oil, sherry, sage, chili powders, cumin, salt, and pepper sitting nearby; then just sprinkle some on of each ingredient on the individual layers of onion rounds, drizzle with more oil and sherry when complete, let marinate, and grill (that's what I actually did).

<p>It's simply this: I love to cook! :) <br /><br />I've been hanging out on the internet since the early days and have collected loads of recipes. I've tried to keep the best of them (and often the more unusual) and look forward to sharing them with you, here. <br /><br />I am proud to say that I have several family members who are also on RecipeZaar! <br /><br />My husband, here as <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/39857>Steingrim</a>, is an excellent cook. He rarely uses recipes, though, so often after he's made dinner I sit down at the computer and talk him through how he made the dishes so that I can get it down on paper. Some of these recipes are in his account, some of them in mine - he rarely uses his account, though, so we'll probably usually post them to mine in the future. <br /><br />My sister <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/65957>Cathy is here as cxstitcher</a> and <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/62727>my mom is Juliesmom</a> - say hi to them, eh? <br /><br />Our <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/379862>friend Darrell is here as Uncle Dobo</a>, too! I've been typing in his recipes for him and entering them on R'Zaar. We're hoping that his sisters will soon show up with their own accounts, as well. :) <br /><br />I collect cookbooks (to slow myself down I've limited myself to purchasing them at thrift stores, although I occasionally buy an especially good one at full price), and - yes, I admit it - I love FoodTV. My favorite chefs on the Food Network are Alton Brown, Rachel Ray, Mario Batali, and Giada De Laurentiis. I'm not fond over fakey, over-enthusiastic performance chefs... Emeril drives me up the wall. I appreciate honesty. Of non-celebrity chefs, I've gotta say that that the greatest influences on my cooking have been my mother, Julia Child, and my cooking instructor Chef Gabriel Claycamp at Seattle's Culinary Communion. <br /><br />In the last couple of years I've been typing up all the recipes my grandparents and my mother collected over the years, and am posting them here. Some of them are quite nostalgic and are higher in fat and processed ingredients than recipes I normally collect, but it's really neat to see the different kinds of foods they were interested in... to see them either typewritten oh-so-carefully by my grandfather, in my grandmother's spidery handwriting, or - in some cases - written by my mother years ago in fountain pen ink. It's like time travel. <br /><br />Cooking peeve: food/cooking snobbery. <br /><br />Regarding my black and white icon (which may or may not be the one I'm currently using): it the sea-dragon tattoo that is on the inside of my right ankle. It's also my personal logo.</p>
