Ingredients
2 tablespoons oil
1 onion, cut into wedges
1 carrot, thinly sliced
2 cups broccoli, cut into small flowerets
1 red pepper, sliced
2 sticks celery, thinly sliced
1 cup snow peas
1/2 cup chicken broth

Heat oil in a wok or saute pan, directly over a HIGH
heat. Add onion and cook 1 minute. Add carrot and
broccoli and stir-fry 2 minutes, then add red pepper,

ONION BLOSSOMS
Great served as a snack, or to dress up barbecued
meats, poultry or fish. Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients
4 medium sweet onions (4-5 ounces each)
1 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
1
teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 pepper (optional)
Preparation
Peel onions, then cut almost completely through each
onion, forming 8 wedges. Onion will be loose, but still
be intact. Prepare four 12-inch squares of aluminum
foil. Place one onion in the center of each foil square.
Stir margarine (or butter) with hot pepper sauce and
drizzle over onions. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Then
bring up two sides of foil square and double fold. Bring
remaining corners up and completely enclose—leaving
enough space for steam to build.
Place wrapped onion blossoms on grill, directly over
MEDIUM heat. Close lid and cook 15 to 25 minutes
or until onions are nearly tender. Make a 2-inch
opening at the top of each onion wrapping, then close
lid and cook 5 to 10 minutes more, or until onions are
lightly browned. Sprinkle with pepper if desired and
serve warm.
