Onion

Vegetables, salads & fresh herbs

Onions are a fundamental aromatic vegetable with a pungent, aromatic flavour that sweetens and mellows when cooked. They form the base of many savoury dishes and are sharper when raw. Various types exist, such as brown onions, red onions, and shallots, differing in intensity and sweetness.

Onions are an extremely common ingredient, often combined with salt, garlic, pepper, vegetable stock, and olive oil in recipes. They form the base for numerous curries, soups, stews, and casseroles, such as "Vegetarian Lentil Stew" or "Red Lentil Curry." They are also indispensable in pasta dishes and pan-fried meals.
