Turmeric is also good for the digestion, which is why it is so often paired with lentils. Lovely stuff.

Well, i have to say that some dishes are better for gentle sauteing of the onions, for me at any rate. The contrast of crunchy onions and beef in Szechuan beef, for example. Or on a hamburger (I like BOTH, but what do I know?)

Most US food is far more influenced by French cooking than traditionally downgraded english cooery, esp Victorians, who were notorious for leeeching all flavor from dishes. And the english traditionally ate onions raw, like apples. (Still do, in fact.)

Onions are great, onions are cool, let’s eat more onions, someone fill in the 4th line, please, my mind went blank!)

We’re eating the dal ands quash tomorrow.
