Extra Tips
If you happen to find fresh seasonal onions, make the most of them! New ones are sweet and delicate, ideal for soups and pies.
And if you want to avoid tears while cutting them, keep them in the fridge for an hour or peel them under cold water: it always works!
The red Tropea onion is perfect for sweet and aromatic dishes: delicious baked, in sweet and sour, or on pizza.
The white onion, more delicate, is ideal for onion soups, frittatas, or as a base for a light sauce.
The golden onion, on the other hand, is the queen of sautées: it shines in ragù, baked pasta, or heartier dishes.
