      I always say this to my friends when they say they don’t like onions … I agree with them, onions are terrible if tried to eat them raw. However, if you cut them thinly and fried them with butter (but basically any oil) on low heat for about 10-15 minutes or longer … you could eat it like a bread topping.

      Fry them faster on higher heat to caramelize them and they taste like candy … fry them with mushrooms and they go fantastic with any meat dish or barbecue.

      Nothing in the world of cooking better than frying onions

      But saying all that about onions … they are good eaten raw in the right way … the Spanish love making cheese and onion sandwiches. I thought it was a terrible idea but it is absolutely amazing. Now I make my grilled cheese sandwiches with very thin sliced onions. But even just a plain cheese sandwich with thin slices of onion is great.

        Big fan of thin sliced raw onion on hot sandwiches or grilled cheese. A single tomato slice is also super good with raw onion on sandwiches.

          Learned that one from trips to southern Spain. Thin sliced Spanish onions with strong Manchego cheese on a bun … the locals live on it.

      It honestly bugs the fuck out of me how much I hate onions. I’m genuinely mad at all the delicious things I could try or make with them and I have to exclude them. I’ve tried caramelized, sauteed, fried, deep fried, raw, yellow, red, white, chopped, finely diced, blended, and all sorts of ways. Don’t get me wrong, I eat the dish they are in, but somehow I can taste them and it honestly bugs me.

      It’s crazy to hear people hate this much on mushrooms and I think they are more of an aromatic and flavorful staple than onions.Umami flavor forever!
