Onions
Onions are usually thought of as an add-in flavoring to another dish. Chopped, diced and sliced onions are found in ingredient lists in millions of recipes.
At the store, you'll find a variety of onions including white, red, yellow, sweet (like Vidalia or Walla Walla), green onions (scallions), spring onions, cippolini, shallots, pearl onions and others.
The onion is underused as the main ingredient. Onions can be baked, stuffed, glazed and caramelized. They can be deep fried or grilled, sauteed or boiled. They are so versatile and play well with many other flavors. They contain vitamins A, C, E and iron.
