Preparation

Step 1

1. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for direct, medium heat (you can hold your hand 1 to 2 in. above the cooking grate only 2 to 3 seconds; visit our Grilling Essential section for complete instructions).

2. While grill heats, peel onions and cut crosswise into slices 1/3 in. thick. In a large bowl, stir together oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add onions and mix well to coat.

3. If cooking over charcoal, use a grill skillet or basket; if cooking over gas, use a grill sheet or basket. Transfer onions to oiled grill skillet, sheet, or basket (reserve oil mixture in bowl), and place on cooking grate; cover gas grill. Cook, turning onions several times with a wide spatula, until lightly charred and limp, 10 to 15 minutes.

4. Return onions to bowl and mix to coat with reserved oil mixture. Scrape into a small serving bowl. Serve warm or at room temperature.
