Now here is a recipe we use when we are camping or just cooking out at home. We call it the Texas Tear Drop. Peel and core an onion (I prefer yellow, but white will work too). Put a dab of butter in the center and then put a jalapeno pepper in the center. It can be canned or fresh, whatever you prefer. Wrap in foil and bake on the coals of your fire just like when you are cooking potatoes. It is delicious and will bring a tear to your eye.
Now THAT is a delicacy! Put a meal or two of Fajitas on the grill next to that onion. Wrap it up in a tortilla with some fresh pico de gallo and guacamole! SOOOOOOO good make ya step back and hug yourself!

I need to keep better track of this forum. I missed this one, somehow. It does sound good. I've been known to bake sweet onions with olive oil or (yes, A.H.!) bacon grease in the middle of them, so it isn't much of a stretch to add a jalapeno to a white or yellow one.
Something else I've been planning to try is stuffing an onion with a few cloves of garlic, and baking it. Since I like onions, and I like garlic, how can I go wrong with a garlic-flavored baked onion?
troy I bet if you did that and batterd the onion and deep fried it, it would be out of this world too.

There's a thought. I'd probably have to bake it some anyway, to get it done all the way through.
But there's probably nothing in the world that isn't good battered and deep-fried. One of my favorites is mushrooms done that way, and of course, I always have trouble deciding whether I like jalapeno poppers better with cream cheese or cheddar cheese in them...
Scotch eggs are hard-boiled eggs peeled, wrapped in sausage meat and deep-fried, A.h. Great picnic food, lunch box item, or just snacks to keep in the fridge. Some people get hoity-toity with them: they quarter them or slice them on a bed of salad greens, and pour on some honey-mustard sauce..
