Recipe - Grilled Vidalia Onion And Papaya Relish

2 pound Vidalia or another sweet
onion, peeled and cut
crosswise into One half inch
thick slices
One fourth cup Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper
One fourth cup Fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon Honey
2 Ripe papayas, peeled, seeded
and minced
One half cup Packed cilantro leaves,
coarsely chopped

Prepare grill or heat grill pan on stove top. Soak wooden skewers in water
for 30 minutes.

Lay an onion slice on a flat work surface. Poke the skewer through center
of the 1/2inchthick side of the onion slice, carefully pushing the skewer
all the way through the onion slice and out the other side. The skewer and
onion should resemble something like a lollipop. If the skewer is long
enough push another onion slice onto the skewer. Skewer the remaining onion
slices in the same manner. Brush onions on both sides with thin coats of
oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill the onions, flipping
occasionally, until browned and lightly charred, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove to a platter and allow to cool.

In a large bowl whisk together the lime juice and honey until well
combined. Coarsely chop the grilled onions and add to the lime mixture,
tossing to coat. Add the minced papaya and chopped cilantro and carefully
stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
