Tip

Chopping Onions

I’ve found that the best way to chop onions with no tears is to place the cutting board on top of the stove and turn the vent fan on high. —Gloria D., Courtenay, British Columbia

Nice and easy recipe, I would add some cheddar cheese for more flavour. Will play with some spices as well and see what I can come up with.
