Brown Sugared Caramelized Onions
Good for: All recipes—especially carmelizing
If a recipe doesn’t specify what type of onion to use, your safest bet is a yellow onion. Yellow onions are your standard cooking onion. The yellows hold up extremely well over that process of caramelizing because it is a long, slow heat.
Good for: Salads, relishes, garnishes
Popular sweet onions include Vidalias, Walla Wallas and Mauis. These well-known varieties have a pale yellow skin. The inside may look white but they are yellow
Good for: Salads, grilling and pickling
Good for: Mexican dishes and grilling
White onions are the type of onion you’ll usually find in prepared salads (potato and macaroni salads, for instance) and traditionally in Mexican cuisine. White onions can be strong but they tend to have less aftertaste.
Good for: Sauces and dressings
Shallots have a mild onion flavor. These bulb-shaped alliums taste like a garlic-onion hybrid. In French cooking, shallots are used in vinaigrettes and sauces, as well as on top of steak.
Good for: Asian and Mexican cooking and garnishes
