Onions
Onions are a good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin B6, Folate, Potassium and Manganese, and a very good source of Vitamin C.
Keep in a cool area with good air circulation or refrigerate.
To stop crying over your onions, see below:
- Chill onions in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or the freezer for 15 minutes before chopping.
- Use a sharp knife. A blunt knife will crush rather than cleanly split the cell walls of the onion, releasing more gas-producing enzymes.
- Light a candle near your cutting board — the flame will draw away some of the gas released by the onion.
- Chop onions near a fan or vent to draw away gas.
- Chew gum while you chop.
Caramelize onions in 10 minutes: Place chopped onions in a dry pan without salt and cook over medium-high heat until dark brown and softened, which takes five minutes. Add oil and a pinch of salt and cook for five more minutes until completely soft. Throw on top of bread for a snack, or use as a garnish to just about any meat or fish. Add to pasta, soup, or pizza. Be creative!
