I have seen this picture of an onion before
A better combination is onions, carrots and celery
You forgot the garlic
My dad hated onions, he’d pick them out of his meals like a 5 year old. One day after I found a love for cooking in highschool this happened and he decided to try my dishes. He was very proud that he only picked out 3 onion pieces and kept the rest lol.
Been trying to figure out how to explain to my little kids that they don’t like the taste of onions, they like the flavor.
They love McDonald’s cheeseburgers, chips of all sorts, all with onions. They’re small, biting an onion is too much for their taste buds, so they think they hate onions.
Anyone help me articulate the idea? LOL, it’s funny I think on it so much.
Eat it or starve.
For me, I dislike (and as a child, hated) the texture of onions. Onion as a flavour has always been fine, it was biting them that was the problem.
Caramelize the onions a bit and blend half into a paste, ask which one tastes bad. If they answer that only the chunky onion is bad, teach them about texture preferences.
They taste different when cooked.
Caramelize them properly and they go from weird, sour but slightly spicy vegetables to straight up candy.
Lol my mom used to tell me she’d come home exhausted from work and wouldn’t know what she was going to feed us, so she’d just put some garlic and onions in a pan to fry while she wound down and figure it out as she went. She said the smell at least made it seem like she had it all figured out, to us anyway
My mom, who was a self admitted not-good cook would start these on the stove a bit before dad was set to come home. He’d be hungry but smelled too good and he would finish cooking for us
If you can smell the salt, you might be using too much.
Why does it taste good starter pack.
Salt, sugar, fat, acid
It makes the onions fry quicker in oil!
Oops I had been adding sugar.
Found the american
Cause it draws out the moisture
Honestly, salt is my secret ingredient. Way more than anyone else is brave enough to put in, but it makes things delicious.
Who needs to have functional kidneys anyway
I want some big, strong kidneys! Got to train them every day.
I only use the LD50 but that’s mostly to stop people from getting seconds.
Not that it matters at that point but is it scaled to one LD50 per serving or nah?
It wouldn’t work well if it wasn’t.
I started cooking for elderly people and I’m not allowed to use salt at all. But I’ll see them dumping salt on it at the table.
Yup. It’s always what one considers too much plus one more shake to season perfectly…but that still doesn’t stop me from under seasoning when cooking new dishes. Can always salt later.
Taste as you go!
Though I have definitely been caught out by salting it perfectly then it reduces and is then too salty.
Except butter instead of oil
Coward. I use both. And then salt the fuck out of it. Every meal takes a year off my life, but fuck if I’m not enjoying the ones I’m left with
Why “instead” ?
And bacon instead of salt
What about the wonderful stink of cumin?
I just don’t put on deodorant, same thing
Not enough garlic in that picture
Always at least double the garlic called for.
Just put some in at the end of cooking if you like garlic, no need to waste it.
Should be ginger instead of salt.
I mean, you need salt. But you don’t smell it.
Salt doesn’t smell.
Is that because it doesn’t have a nose?
Not with that attitude
Yours maybe.
Idk, sometimes just baked bread and sugar smells really good too.
That’s one of the best smells of ever exist. There was a bakery on the way from my home to school. They usually had a fresh batch when I walked to school in the morning, and boy it made me salivate.
There wee several house-party focused cookbooks that suggested to just fry off a pan of decoy onions as your guests enter the house. Doesn’t matter if they get used in a dish or not, just cook the onions.
