The Golden Onions

I agree with you. It is how to complete the taste of dishes, even if they are simple ones.

We sure do, we all have our priorities.

@Shavkat Yes

We called them red onions too here

@DaddyEvil Those in the photo look like shallots to me, not red onions.

@ifa225 And they're really delicious sautéed in a bit of butter with some spices.

I can still remember my granny before. She loves peeling them off and stored them in jars in the refrigerator.

Smart idea.

@LadyDuck I would rather give up buying diamonds than give up onions

I think I would give up should I pay more than $ 15 for a kg of onions.

@allknowing Well, I gave up buying diamonds years ago, but I also gave up buying Prosciutto di Parma because I think the actual price is simply ridiculous.

I agree. During the pandemic, pork meat is so high that people still survive for having them once in a while.

The big companies are taking full advantage of the people.

@Shavkat I've cut back on a lot of things because prices are high.

It was a true article. Onions are more expensive than meat in the public market. They are claiming that it happened because the two harvests were not that good.

@Shavkat I am all about using fresh vegetables whenever possible if they are affordable. With all the shortages, I went over my spices and flavorings and such, last fall they said that in 2023 there probably would be a worldwide onion shortage. I LOVE ONIONS! I pretty much use them daily to cook with. I bought some dehydrated onions, to use if I had to. Then I really thought about it, and I bought several small bags and chopped and dehydrated some of my own as well, to use in the future. I prefer fresh, of course. But at least if I can't get onions or can't afford them, I do have a back up plan. Oh, and if you don't use onion powder, you should get some of that as well. It adds a lot of flavor to things.

I agree. I only buy the cheaper ones called 'lasona.' It is nice that you are back with a different username.

I agree. I really need to have some because the local dishes would not taste good if being cooked.

@Shavkat I suspect you have to reduce the quantity.

These onions are a bit cheaper because they are smaller than the usual ones.

You said it right. I tried my best to use them wisely when cooking. It is really a pricey one.

We are on the same page. I cannot make the local dishes delicious without them.
