....are arriving in our weekly veg box. I use quite a lot of onions but even so am having trouble using anything like all these. So yesterday I made some French onion soup - it needed 1 kg of onions, which was just 3 of these whoppers.
Very nice for lunch but I’m off bread at the mo, so no lovely toasted cheese bread on top, just some grated cheese added.

I love them when I can find them. I scoop out the middles and reserve for other dishes, then stuff the centres, and bake.

If they won’t keep, you can chop them then freeze them, ready for use later on.

Witzend I had exactly the same in my veg box the other day - three humungous red onions! I'm thinking of making some caramelised red onion chutney with them.

We had some pure white skin onions in our box this week, l had asked for a mild Spanish type onion for DH who loves a Cheese and Onion bap to his supper beer, but these must be just about the most peppery hot onions l have ever tasted!
