Apart from salads for colour, & corned beef hash, when do you use them & why??

I use them as rings in things like roasted veg, rattatouilee and veg casseroles where white onions might be a bit harsh. I prefer the sweeter taste of red ones, but don't get them often as they are more expensive (don't have room to grow onions).

I find red onions have a milder taste, so are very edible when raw (I mean like the whole onion ! ) whereas whites can be a bit sharp sometimes. I love them raw with perhaps a bit of french dressing and parsley, or better still, coriander .... mmm

Derekthefox :D

Onion jam, really.

Indeed they do - but mine's not so posh! :)

Ohhh red onion and sweet potato soup - just use a basic soup recipe and subsitute the veg for these - really lovely colour and kids adore it.

As an accompaniment to goats cheese, especially as a pizza topping, goats cheese, red onions, garlic, fresh basil, black olives and a drizzle of olive oil.....my absolute favorite pizza!
Did red onion and goats cheese tarts a week ago, and like Aqui and Wardy, roasted veg and ratatouille.
Mine sadly have all been used up now. :'(

I use my red onions mostly in salads, cucumber and red onions salad, spinach and onions, but also a lot when grilling fish, on a pizza, I make red onion soup, sausages in sweet red onion marmelade, focaccia with red onions and rosemary, list is endless, I think  ;D

I'm listening!

Oh, just remembered - red onion tartin.
