Onions. They're delicious and versatile and make most savoury dish better.

They still make me cry though, and I must have tried probably 20+ different methods to help with it at this point. None work for me.

I lived with someone who refused to eat anything that she knew had onion in (if she didn't know, she was fine, like burger patties), it was very difficult to cook in that household

[–] Tommasi@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was like that until pretty late in my teens. I found cooked onions kinda gross and off-putting. When I think about it now I feel bad for my mom who used to cook for me.

onion is an extremly strong contenter .. like all the forms , its cool with everybody .. you cry when you cut it , its smells proclaims a good meal coming...

[–] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I put cut onions under running water immediately and flex them apart so it gets all of the tear gas out.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

You can keep them in the fridge too to stop the tear gas.

Amen. Got some lotus leaf buns and I'm low on food, so probably just frying up some onions and stalk mushrooms in oyster sauce and calling it a day.

[–] Kultronx@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago

score the onion horizontally and vertically like a grid without hitting the root, then slice the face to create a good dice and then quickly discard the root without getting the juice on your hand, then quickly clean your knife. that's the solution.

I went to Ethiopia and found they eat onions a lot. You grind them to a pulp (e.g. In a good processor, so no crying) and fry the pull with seasonings and tomato paste. Best sauce ever.

Potato. No veggie can do everything, but a tater can do a whole lot more than most. Would miss onions tho

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I was thinking the same. Potato's are not the best at anything but they are great at many things. So versatile and delicious.
