RECIPE TIPS
KNOW-HOW

When onions are

fried gently, they

release natural

sugars. These sugars

caramelise, giving

sticky softened onions

their characteristic

sweet flavour. Adding

a teaspoon of sugar

speeds up this process.

If the onions fry too

quickly or over a high

heat, they may start to

burn; a splash of water

can help to prevent this.
