Smoked Onions
Smoked onions have a unique, smoky flavor that goes great with any smoked meat. The smoking process gives them a slightly sweet and caramelized taste, while still retaining some of their natural onion flavor. The texture of smoked onions is tender and slightly chewy, with a melt-in-your-mouth quality that makes them a great addition as an ingredient, and also as a side dish.
