The Chef’s Trick

A lot of people avoid onions because they think they’re difficult to peel or too tough. But with this quick sauté method, taught by an American chef, red onions are crunchy, sweet, and delicious—while retaining all their health benefits.

Step-by-Step Recipe

Ingredients:

2 medium red onions

1–2 tablespoons olive oil

A pinch of sea salt

(Optional) A splash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice

Preparation:

Easy peeling trick: Trim the ends, make a slit in the peel, and microwave for 20 seconds. The skin will peel off on its own!

Slice thinly: into slices or strips.

Quick sauté: Heat the oil over medium-high heat.

Perfect flavor: Add the onion, sprinkle with salt, and sauté for 5–7 minutes until caramelized.

Finishing touch: a few drops of lemon or vinegar before serving.

And that’s it! No fuss, no waiting hours. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a dish full of flavor and health.
