THE BASE OF EVERY GOOD DISH

Onion, Where Every Dish Begins

Onions bring bold, aromatic flavor that ranges from sharp to sweet depending on the variety—red, white, or yellow—and serve as the foundation for countless dishes across every cuisine. Whether raw, sautéed, or caramelized, onion is a true kitchen essential. At Latin Specialties, we source onions for consistent quality and flavor, case after case.

Bold, sweet, and absolutely essential—onion is where every good dish begins.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Drop the sliced onion in boiling water for 30 seconds, then drain well (this softens the bite).
  2. Combine the citrus juices, salt, oregano and habanero in a jar and add the onion.
  3. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate. It keeps for about a week.

TipThe onion turns pink and tender as it sits: it is best after 1 to 2 hours.
