Red onion

Vegetables, salads & fresh herbs

Red onions are milder and sweeter in flavour than yellow onions and possess an attractive purple colour. They are excellent raw in salads and sandwiches or lightly sautéed in warm dishes. Their aroma is less pungent and slightly fruity, making them highly versatile.

Red onions are frequently used in curries, stews, and salads, such as 'White bean coconut curry' or 'Asparagus salad'. They are also a popular ingredient in roasted vegetables and vegetable stir-fries. They often serve as a base for dressings or as a fresh component in salads like 'Crispy red cabbage salad'. Typical accompaniments include salt, pepper, garlic, olive oil, and vegetable stock, which round out the flavours of the dishes.
