Onion is one of the most important ingredients in cooking, just like garlic.
It enhances different flavors, adding depth and complexity to your dishes.
Thats why its a must when cooking.

Last December, we had a family gathering, and everyone was tasked to cook a certain dish.
The onions were so strong that even though the room was well-ventilated, our eyes were still irritated.
We tried it, and it definitely worked!
If you tend to cry when cutting onions, follow the instructions below.
This technique will keep the chemicals from releasing while you cut them into pieces.
Step 2:
Set aside the other half.
Place the onion face down on your cutting board.
Cut the top off, the opposite end of the root.
Peel the outside skin.
Step 4:
Pinch the layers with your fingers tucked under to keep them intact while cutting.
Run your knife over the onions until you are close to the roots.
If you want a finer dice, you could always run your knife back over.
