The joys of the humble cyboes, scallions, spring onions, gibbons or what ever name you know this glorious onion by. Many salads, stir-frys, salsas and sarnies would be blander without their addition.
Use an onion in everything savoury - love them. The smell of frying onions makes me think of when we were young going to the fair - there was always a stall selling hotdogs and burgers.
This would be my mums ideal thread, She had onions with her dinner earlier and literally made the whole downstairs stink of onion.. Wasn't a pleasant smell to me, but my mum loves it lol.
Red onions have more antioxidants in them. Quite often I will halve or quarter them, place in an ovendish, drizzle with oil and bake alongside a savoury oven dish. (Could cover with foil but I just discard the outer crispier, tougher skin).
Oh red onions - I love them in a mexican type salsa and raw red onion chopped and sprinkled on chilli. Tomato, red onion - chop and mix together is a nice little side dish/salad/salsa with cheese or chicken or anything.

I was just thinking about this the other day. There was another thread and I posted about Catterick Market and it reminded me that when I was there I would get a steak burger with fried onions.
It brought back memories and I was on the verge of drooling
I've never counted but I reckon we have onions in at least 5/6 meals a week. Whether it's a stew, a pie, a salad, a chinese, an indian, a burger or just onion rings. I love 'em!
They're definitely one of my most used vegetables. I have curries, chilli and wraps with onions. Sometimes even in an omelette. I think onions, along with bell peppers, are very versatile.
I love onions but they make me cry, even after years of regularly chopping them! I love red onion and use it in my beef stew. When making bolognese I use frozen chopped onions, they're a godsend!
I'm loving leeks at the moment. So sweet, mild and easy to chop.

My sister makes a recipe with tinned cooked onions.
She's a very good cook and has also made it with fresh fried onions but it didn't taste the same. Can't remember the name but it was a kind of tex-mex casserole and for the type of dish the tinned onions worked better.
I love onions! Sometimes I cook up a couple of kilos chopped up with butter and marsala - cooked very very slowly they just make this brown sludge that tastes amazing. I then throw a big dollop in almost everything I cook, or have it on its own on baked potatoes, that sort of thing.
My ex was allergic to onions - they made him really ill. I once accidentally fed him some (it was in a pasta sauce I'd made) and he was throwing up all night, it was awful. It made feeding him really hard!
