    Onions have their place, and it’s diced so fine they’re practically molecular.

      Raw, carmelized, fried, pickled, grilled.

      There’s so many ways to eat onions and they all taste different. Someone who just ‘doesn’t like onions’ is like someone not liking potatoes…which version and what do you not like??

      I love onions in stew, or in gumbo or jambalaya - some place where I can’t see 'em, and certainly don’t have to chew through them.

      otherwise fuck onions lol

        Seriously, pre caramelized actually! But I will add chopped onion too. Also garlic powder, and actual garlic. They taste different and both are good.

          I never considered caramelizing the onions before drying and powdering them… I’ll have to set aside some of our garden haul for that

        It’s not the same, and deep in your heart you know that, too.

          Oh I know it’s not the same. It’s infinitely better. Any recipe that calls for onion gets an onion powder substitute in my kitchen. It gets the job done for my recipe, doesnt feel lacking, and does so without making the food inedible and making my kitchen reek.

            Try dried fried onions. They always have them at Indian Grocery stores, or dutch shops.

            You can skip whole steps in recipes of browning, caramelizing onions for sauces , stews, etc just dump a few tablespoonsfulls in. Also makes excellent brown gravy base with some soysauce and Marmite.

      when I make salsa I just throw the tomato, peppers, onion, tomatillo, cilantro, coleslaw, and a drip of lime juice in the food processor and let it chop for me.
