Your everyday kitchen essential. Brown onions are bold, hearty and full of flavour, perfect for slow cooking, caramelising, soups, sauces and everything in between. They’re the backbone of countless recipes.
The brown onion is one of the most well known onions used in Australian kitchens, with papery skin and a full flavour that deepens beautifully with cooking. Ours are Australian grown from local farmers.
Slow cooking transforms a brown onion completely. Given time and gentle heat, its natural sugars caramelise into something sweet and rich, which is why caramelised onion begins with the humble brown.
The base of soups, sauces, curries and casseroles, and the essential companion to a potato bake. Quarter them into a roasting tray with a starchy variety such as Sebago and let everything turn golden together.
Keep in a cool, dark, well ventilated place out of the fridge, and away from your potatoes, as each shortens the life of the other. Whole brown onions keep for several weeks.
