New Week, new Veggie: onion is the new star!!!
Onions are often used as seasoning but not always like the star of the meal!!
I love cooked onions in my food and even if this is a simple ingredient I believe we can discover it’s full potential together!
First recipe is here and if we are talking about simple this easy, quick, yummy Vegan Frittata!!
I served mine with some Kale salad in a sunny day but feel it also fits perfect with some sweet potatoes or roasted carrots!
