Hello Foodies!
I hope you all have had a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends.
Lets take a second to talk about onions. Onions make our food TASTY….and our eyes WATER. Today I am going to tell you how to get your onion flavor without crying.
HOW TO NOT CRY WHILE CHOPPING ONIONS:
1. A Nice, Cold Bath: Give the onions a 15 minute soak in cold water before chopping them (Note: The water does extract some of the onion flavor, so be forewarned)
2. Refrigerator: Storing onions in your refrigerator weakens the chemicals inside the onions that make your eyes burn.
3. Air: It also helps to have good air circulation, so open a window or turn on a fan before you begin chopping.
4. Wear goggles: Wearing goggles is a reliable way to keep chemicals from the onion out of your eyes.
Happy New Year!
