Onion & root vegetable upside-down pie
I simply cannot give this recipe the PERFECT 10 it deserves because every time I put it together, I literally bawl my eyes out. Small onions make me cry every. Single. Time. But guys, I finally found a solution! (No, it’s not to wear goggles while chopping!) You soak them in water for 15 minutes, and then you peel them directly in that same water. It’s so much easier because the peel actually softens but mostly because it not an automatic tear jerker! Et voilà!
Not all pies must be sweet, and here is the proof!
