    Onions and peppers are some of the vegetables I eat the most of because you can cut them up very quickly and serve with simple lunches like pasta or an omelette

      And to lessen the taste of onions … either cut them very thinly … or take the cut slices and soak them in a bit of vinegar for ten minutes.

      Best way to enjoy raw onions I find is to eat them with cheese … nothing like a plain old cheese and onion sandwich … we discovered this in southern Spain where mountain villages serve it like that - really strong manchego hard cheese with strong Spanish onions served on hard crust baguette style bread, it’s amazing

        That sounds amazing, and I can’t wait to try it… But I can’t help but wonder how horrible everyone’s breath might be there. 😬

        Interesting, I’ll have to try that.

        For a while our standard appetizer to bring places was onions and Brie on saltines. It just works and is simple.

        But from that I assumed onions want a creamy cheese like brie, so hard cheeses never occurred to me
