Notes
- Charred onions - I make this charred onion which is very simple to cook up. Slice the onions, cook it in a pan with salt, pepper, paprika until charred. We are not cooking it until its soft we just want to get a char on the onions, keep stirring it as it shouldn’t stick to the pan. Once that is achieved take it off the heat and let it cool a little.
