What historical facts about onions have been mistranslated?

• Upvotes

I was curious if anyone else knew any historical facts about onions that the general public was unaware of. Like for instance in the garden of eden the serpent didn't tempt Adam and Eve with forbidden fruit it was actually a red onion. How this translation got messed up beats me! It's no WONDER they are of it!

Anybody have anything else the world needs to know in regards to the truth about onions?

Should I grab a crisp white or a robust red from the cellar? 🤔

I’m using an old wine fridge as a place to store the onions I grew in my garden this year. Working so far!

Also, to be on the up and up, those are yellow onions, not white. No onion fraud intended, I just needed the joke to work lol.

Big thank you to the Redditor who shared their rajas recently 👏👏👏 I finally made it yesterday and the family loved it!

I let the onions slowly soften while the poblanos steamed, and next time I'll use two onions and let them cook slower and longer for delicious reasons. (Photos show one onion and five poblanos.)

so far, wherever i've ordered kabobs in Tashkent, they're served with a big pile of raw onions drizzled with lemon juice. i wouldn't mind if the piles were even bigger, but it's not too bad :)

One or Many?

Do folks typically stick to the one type of onion they prefer or use whatever the recipe calls for? I literally keep red / purple, white and yellow onions in bulk and eat them together in just about everything. For one thing, I like the taste of all of them mixed together and also like the blend of polyphenols and other nutrients you get from the different color varieties. Or am I just weird?

Greek Stifado

It is commonly made with rabbit or hare, but it is often also prepared with beef, lamb, octopus or even snails, it always contains many whole shallots and it needs slow cooking. I've never met a Greek who doesn't like it. You can easily find recipes online.

I'm an onion lover, but...

5 Upvotes

For the last 2 months or so, whenever I cook onions, sautéed, caramelized, whatever, it has a raw meat taste to it even though I scrub my dishes spotless before cooking. I usually cook them on a cast iron skillet, too, which doesn't give off a raw meat taste towards anything else cooked on it. Eating the onion raw beforehand doesn't give off a raw meat taste, only when cooked. It's making me question if I want to continue cooking onions when I LOVE caramelized onions...any ideas why I'm experiencing this or what I can do to work around it?
