Thinking About All The Onions We'll Be Chopping

hi Ron i'm danielle and i'm back with another tasting video i order you could tell a little bit cheeky I'm really nervous for this video I don't usually bite into whole raw onions but that's what I'm going to do today for you because I love you so much so we have four onions here a yellow onion white onion a purple onion some people call them red but I'm call them purple because I love purple and a shallot and we're going to taste that and talk about their best uses and shall we go so the first item we're going to start with is this big beautiful yellow onion and we're starting with it because it's the most oniony of the onions it has a very strong flavor it probably makes your eyes water than the more than the rest if you're very sensitive son Ian so probably your eyes water with all them but somebody that's now so subsidence may still here up from a yellow onion so wish me luck here we go you have it is Adam is very very strong this is like basically the whole perfect onion this is the onion that I keep the most of in my house it's good for soups it's good for stews it's good for braises it's good for any sort of long-term cooking it gives really good onion flavor and it keeps its sharpness even though it's cooked okay so next up we're going to go with the white onion the white onion I would say is one level lower than the Spanish onions and the yellow onion in terms of its sharpness is onion enos it's a little bit more mild it's not sweet we're not there yet but a little bit more mild than the yellow onion so here we go it's definitely easier to chew I like to put these onions in any salads that are that need a raw onion but I want the dressing to sort of marinate the onion because this can very easily be tamed by a vinegar it's good for pickling this is a the onion a lot of times you find it like herring you know like onions and clean cloth because it works really well with acidity it miles out even mellows out even more and because it's also a really good onions have around next up the purple onion my favorite first of all I love them because they're purple they are so pretty they look pretty in your onion basket they look pretty in your salad they're just delicious I even liked us like saute them you know usually well then these is better but when I make like silicate onions for Salladhor Lisa posted onions mushrooms I use it because they're so good these are so sweet I make a salad every night for dinner in my house and we always I look up ease up I put them in my israeli salad I put them in a regular salad I put them when I make tacos anytime I need to add a wrong in for something I'd go with this it's milder it's easier to eat and it's so beautiful i love purple onion boy okay my eyes are starting secured energy around the onion fruit school next up is the shallot these little babies are so cute and so beautiful they also have a slightly purple few to them these are really really fun to have in the house because when I make on a regular day like a lunch for my kid or a sandwich or like a quick chicken I don't need to cut up a whole red onion I could just cut up one salad it's enough for one or two people I stick it in anja omelet I stick it in the fans which is it very very mild and this is what I like to if I make a salad dressing with onion in it I top it up really really small and the Salik is just the right amount of onion eNOS to the dressing it's so young and delicious Harlem they're crispy they're sweeter they're yummy they're not difficult to eat at all they're really really perfect okay so I really hope this was informative to you all because I know walking down the supermarket aisle and seeing all the varieties of onions is so overwhelming sometimes so I hope this broke it down a little and thank you so much for coming here with me and watching me on kosher calm be sure to check out all my other videos have a great day hi
