Grilled Onions, Shallots and Tomatoes

Total time: 30 minutes
    We don't often think of onion as a vegetable.... It is.  Combined with shallots and tomatoes it makes a lovely side dish.

 Ingredients:

• 2 - 3 medium shallots more if they are small
• 1 medium - large onion
• 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes - or 2 medium tomatoes
• 2 tsp white Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbs olive oil

 Instructions:

• Peel onion, cut in half, then cut each half into 4 wedges. 
• Peel the shallots and cut in half. 
• Put olive oil and vinegar in a medium bowl, add all onion and shallots.  Toss well to coat. 
• Put into 'grill pan' (a metal or foil pan dedicated to use on the grill) NOT a mesh grill pan.  Cook over medium heat 15 - 20 minutes. 
• Cut cherry tomatoes in half or larger tomatoes into wedges, and add to shallots and onion. 
• Stir to combine and cook another 5 - 8 minutes. 
• Remove all and serve.

OR:  Put onions and shallots onto a baking sheet with a lip (my trusty 'pizza' pan) and roast in 400F (200C) oven for 25 minutes, adding the tomatoes for the last 10 minutes.
