*After a discussion with some friends this weekend, I thought I might include a page on my site with some kitchen tips and "how-to's." I am just getting started with the content and adding the new page, so check back for an update. For now, I hope this is useful!
1. Start with your onion on the cutting board. Do not peel it.
2. Slice off the sprout/stem end of the onion, but leave the root attached and intact. If you prefer, you can cut off a portion of the root (leaving the root core attached), but I find it easiest not to cut it at all.
