Diced or sliced, it builds savory depth in soups, sauces, braises, gravies, and pan sauces. Raw pieces bring sharpness; gentle cooking softens them, while longer cooking coaxes out sweetness and browning. Keep the heat moderate and stir as needed—scorched onion turns bitter and can overwhelm an otherwise balanced dish.
