I’m starting to wonder if any BBQ recipe that calls for onions isn’t as good or better using shallots instead.
We made my “cheeseburgers that don’t fall apart” last night using a pile of shallots instead of onions, and I was blown away. Sweeter for certain, and maybe I just imagined it, but the texture seemed to be better, too. And, by the way, I didn’t lose a scrap of burger through the grate. The single flip technique still works perfectly for me.
I’ve decided that I’m going to challenge my recipes going forward, and see if shallots aren’t always better. I love their flavor.
By the way, a random note for anybody who is the slightest bit curious. My posting on “Cheesburgers that don’t fall apart” has been the most searched for, most viewed, and most commented on posting on the Blue State BBQ blog. It’s really interesting to me that so many barbecuers have this same problem. Nice to know I can be of some help.
