I Love Onions!
Onions are the bad boy of the vegetable world. They stink, they make make you cry but my God they're delicious.
Salad Onions, scallions, spring onions, pickled onions, red onions, brown onions, shallots or white onions. I love them all.
It would probably be easier to compile a lens of savoury recipes that don't call for the trusty onion, so on this lens I've raided my repertoire for recipes that place onions centre stage.
I've also tracked down links, clips, pictures and information on our little round chums in paper jackets.
Enjoy but don't forget your breath mints.

I Never Harmed an Onion
Onions Are Good For You!
Onions are reputed to reduce the production of harmful bacteria in the colon, lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure and lower the risk of stomach cancer.
Not only that the World Health Organisation state that onions can help treat poor appetite, coughs, colds and other bronchial disorders.
Oh and did I mention that they only contain 63 calories and 0.9g of fat per 150g so you won't be getting fat on onions anytime soon.
