Here is my ultimate onion guide so you'll know exactly which one to use.
1. Yellow Onions:
This is a staple for any base recipe like stocks and sautéing.
2. Sweet Onions:
Sweet, mild, and perfect for eating raw on salads and burgers.
3. Red Onions:
Mild, sweet flavor that is perfect for pickling or as a garnish.
4. White Onions:
The most pungent of the bunch, and perfect in salsas and chutneys because they absorb other flavors.
5. Shallots:
Subtle, mild flavor that enhances dressings and sauces. Great if you don't want a strong flavor.
6. Green Onions:
Amazing as a garnish to add flavor and texture. Use the white part for more peppery flavor and the green for a sweeter flavor.
Knowing which onions are best in your recipes will make a huge difference to the final product.
Save this for later so you can use it whenever you need.
