The World of Onions
Written by Asinus Asinum Fricat on June 2, 2008 – 5:49 am -Those of you who have paid close attention to my recipes would have noticed that I almost always use red onions. I like yellow onions as well and I particularly love the ones we call shallots. They’re somewhat sweet, and when minced finely, you can add a little balsamic vinegar and use it to spoon it over oysters before eating them. A great cure for hangover is an onion tart, laced with chilies. Another one is this: juice 1 onion and mix it with equal part of tomato juice, add some Tabasco and drink it straight. You’ll feel discobombulated for a moment but that nasty headache will clear.
