Onion (caramelised)
Onion is a pungent bulb vegetable used as a foundational aromatic in savoury cooking worldwide, with a sharp, sulphurous flavour raw that mellows into a sweet, savoury taste when cooked slowly. It is used raw in salads and salsas, or sautéed, caramelised, roasted, or fried as a base for countless dishes. Different varieties, from red to white to yellow, vary in sharpness and sweetness.
Caramelising involves heating an ingredient until its natural sugars brown, which drives off moisture and concentrates it into a denser, stickier mass than the raw form.
