A TIME TO CRY

Hail to the king of vegetables! Very versatile and full of flavour, onions wear the crown when it comes to cooking. Sure, they might be tear-inducing, but that’s nothing compared to how much we’d cry without this key ingredient. This week, we want you to peel back the many layers that make onions so great. Raw, cooked or caramelized — whether you’re using them to start a sauce, top a hotdog or play a starring role in your salad, send us posts that will leave us in tears. Of joy, of course.

MISSION INSPIRATION

“No need to cry over this beautiful-looking onion,” Gastroposter Maria Zychowicz says about this baked red onion with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. “Perfect with goat cheese and crackers or separate petals to use on pizza.” We’re only crying because we can’t try it ourselves, Maria!
