 MILD
AND SWEET (SPANISH) ONION
Amongst
the largest types available these onions have
a rich golden coloured skin. They tend to have
a particularly sweet, mild flavour. Choose firm,
blemish-free onions and avoid any that have green
shoots.
How To Use Spanish Onion
Mild
and sweet onions are often served raw in salads
and are especially good with tomatoes, but can
also be included in dishes where a mild onion
flavour is required, such as stir fries, stews,
salsas, omelettes, risottos or stuffings.
How To Prepare Spanish Onion
Cut
a thin slice from the top of the onion. Peel
the skin away and remove any soft outer layers.
Hold the onion by the root and slice or cut
in half and chop into even-sized pieces.
How To Cook Spanish Onion
Onions
can be fried or steamed. To fry, heat 1 tbsp
olive oil in a pan, add the prepared onion and
cook for 5 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally
until tender. To steam, place whole, peeled
onions or sliced onions in a steamer. Cook whole
onions for 40 - 50 minutes and sliced onions
for 15 - 20 minutes.
How To Store Spanish Onion
Keep
in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
