Into a large pot I fling butter. Or maybe I pour in olive oil. I turn the heat to one-third of the way and chop an onion – the first of three onions. It always starts with an onion. It’s a rough chop because I’m going to blend it later. Or maybe it’s in slices for the curling sweetness of caramelization. Or maybe it’s finely diced to top perogies or a steak.
You are too young to remember, but there was a cooking show called "The Urban Peasant" and he often said, "First thing you do is chop an onion, and while chopping it, think about what you are going to make for supper"
As it happens, I cannot eat onions either. Love the smell of onions cooking, even the taste, but alas genetics says 'No'! Like lactose intolerance, there's a certain type of sugar in onions, beets, etc. that I cannot digest (though I can handle small doses of beets).
I agree...onions give the best flavour! Love the smell of them cooking as well! Thankfully, Lonny loves them too! Sadly, the rest of my family have various issues with onions and there just seems to be something missing when I make a big family meal! Thanks for writing so eloquently about one of life's simple pleasures...beautiful❤️❤️

Onions and Bacon frying are like an elixir of the gods. Can’t beat either one😊
