How to use nailed onion in cooking?

This  traditional technique  is a  classic of French gastronomy . Here’s how to  easily integrate it  into your recipes:

  • In a broth  : Plunged into a  pot of simmering water  with  vegetables and herbs , it enriches  soups and broths  with flavor.
  • In a stew or a slow-cooked dish  : The studded onion  goes  perfectly with  beef  bourguignon  or a  pot-au-feu , bringing a  subtle aromatic complexity .
  • With roast meat  : Placed on a  baking sheet  with a  roast pork or poultry , it flavors the meat  without masking its natural taste .
  • In cooking rice or lentils  : Added to  the cooking water , it  prevents a bland taste  and brings a  delicately spicy aroma to the cereals .
