Red Onion
22 recipes 9 guides
Red onion brings a crisp bite and sharp, peppery flavor to salads, salsas, burgers, and grain dishes. Heat softens its texture and turns the flavor sweeter, while grilling or roasting adds char and deeper sweetness. The common mistake is cooking it too aggressively: burnt edges become bitter before the thicker pieces have softened.
