Onions like to breathe, so keep them in a well-ventilated area like your pantry. Don't refrigerate or place in plastic bags. Use within a month.

How to prep

• Place onion on side cut off the top and root ends leaving some of that root intact
• Cut the onion in half and anchoring it with your palm, make several horizontal slices, being careful not to slice all the way through
• Make vertical slices, using the natural lines of the onion as a guide and then cut from the top end to the stem

One medium-size onion equals about 1 cup chopped. Chopped onions can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Chef's tip

Turn caramelized onions into chutney by adding a splash of vinegar. This sweet-tart condiment goes well with roast chicken, pork chops and brightens up burgers.
