Red onions

£1.55 / 500g

This week we're packing Red Hylander onions

Vibrant organic red onions. One of your best friends in the kitchen – almost every meal begins with the peeling of an onion. They make a brilliant base for all sorts of dishes – and because red onions are milder than white, they can be used raw to add colour and sweet kick to salads and salsas. They also caramelise beautifully when roasted.

How to prepare

Can be sliced thinly and eaten raw or slow cooked until sweet, dark and tangled. Try roasting in wedges or even baking whole until meltingly tender and collapsing. They slightly darken anything they are cooked in, so are best used for dark tomato/red wine-based sauces or stews, rather than something light and clear.
