Ok, I am feeling soooo daft and all my family are laughing at me !!!

I decided to take some advce on here and try one of the Asian Supermarkets, especially as I needed onions (my 5kg bag had run out)

So off I toddle and sure enough outside the front of the shop there is a nice big bag of onions, in I go and pay for the onions and go to get them in the car.

As I go to pick up the bag the lovely man starts going "no, no not those ones - you paid for these ones". . . . .

I am now the proud owner of 25kg of onions for a family of 2 adults, 2 children and a baby

Any onion recipes please - especially any that will freeze or keep in a jar like Chutney !!??

Thankyou

T xx (very )

P.S - they were really cheap though !!!!

We have this thread - loads of onions. I'll add your question to that later.

I know I should have dexplained that I had got it wrong but they were cheap and the really nice man had already carried the bag to my car - also I was so embaressed that I had made a mistake like that - I just wanted to get out of there

Thanks for the recipes and links - next time I will take DH with me to prevent things like that happening to me !!!

If its any comfort I buy bags of onions this size every month.But there are six of us to feed.I tend to peel,chop and bag half the onions up into usable portion sizes and then I put them in a couple of freezer bags and whack them in the freezer.The other half of the bag usually lasts me a fortnight and I do a couple of big jars of pickled onions to go with the teas too.I also batch cook a fair few in things like bolognaise or chillis.If you forward plan with the onions and put in a bit of effort they will last you ages and you wont waste any.But be warned they sprout pretty quickly
