Cebollitas Asadas (Grilled Cambray Onions)

Cebollitas Asadas (Grilled Cambray Onions)
Prep 5 min Cook 10 min Serves 4 Source

Ingredients

  • 8 cambray onions
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil, (avocado oil, or cooking spray)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Jugo Maggi Seasoning, (soy sauce, or Worcestershire, optional)

Steps

  1. 1

    Rinse the onions under cold water and pat them dry. Trim off the root ends and about 4 inches off the tops of the green stems, then discard any wilted pieces. Coat the onions evenly with olive oil or lightly spray with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Heat a comal, cast-iron skillet, or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, lightly charred, and the bulbs feel tender when pressed, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Try not to flip them too often so they have time to caramelize and develop color.

  3. 3

    Remove from the heat and season with kosher salt. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top, then add a few dashes of Jugo Maggi seasoning, soy sauce, or Worcestershire, if desired.

  4. 4

    Serve immediately with carne asada or other grilled meats. You can serve them whole as a side or chop them up and add them to tacos.
