Save
The humble onion is a vital ingredient in the kitchen but not one we naturally turn to as the main ingredient.
With so many varieties available there's plenty of exploration to be done to maximise their potential.
We prove the pungent notes can be toned down into tasty and sophisticated dishes where the sweet savouriness shines through.
From the classic French soup, chef inspired creations and the favourite bar top snack of pickled onions, onions are full of surprises from bar food fodder to haute cuisine creations.
