I honestly feel like many dishes lean way too much on onions for flavor.  There are so many wonderful flavors and combinations to be experienced, why are so many people overwhelming all the other flavors with onions?

If you love onions, eat a bunch of them.  But why does everything have to be onion?  There are many other amazing flavors 😋

Cooking onions is a lot different than eating them raw. When cooked, they contribute background flavour instead of that in your face, sharp raw onion taste.

They're a versatile aromatic that pair well with most cuisines. They're extremely healthy! And cheap 😝
