Onion Quartered Description π§ π΄
Onion quartered refers to cutting onions into four equal parts. π§ πͺ This simple yet effective cut is perfect for dishes that benefit from larger pieces of onion, providing a bold flavor and substantial texture. Onion quarters hold up well in slow-cooked recipes, roasting, and grilling, making them ideal for a variety of hearty dishes. π²ππ₯
The larger size of onion quarters allows them to absorb flavors and become tender and caramelized during cooking. π§ π Whether you're preparing a roast, a stew, or a vegetable medley, onion quarters add depth and richness to your culinary creations. ππ½οΈ
