On the walls of the Egyptian pyramids, you can find hieroglyphs that tell about the number of onions eaten during construction. Moreover, the mention of it is found even in the Bible!

It is boiled and fried, dried and marinated, baked and sautéed. And also added to salads, or seafood, served as a side dish. And finally, the famous French onion soup is made from it. By the way, initially onion soup was the food of the poor and only centuries later migrated to the menu of restaurants. It's easy to cook. It is necessary to peel the onion, remove the top film and the core (it gives the wrong aftertaste). Chop it thinly and simmer in butter for at least 30 minutes. For a particularly sophisticated taste, you can add white wine, sherry or balsamic vinegar, as well as spices such as thyme or sugar. Then pour in meat or chicken broth and simmer a little more. In a deep plate or earthenware pot, put a pre-cooked toast of white bread with a slice of edamer cheese, pour the soup, sprinkle with parmesan and bake until golden brown. * Restaurant Capri: Akademika Sakharova Ave., 7, t .: (495 ) 207 5253
