Onion Caviar for Winter
Description
To prepare onion caviar for winter at home, you need to divide the onion into two parts—blanch one part in a colander, and stew the other with carrots in a frying pan. Once prepared, the dish can be served as a side dish, sauce, or appetizer with the main course. Serve at the table or store in the pantry.

Step 3
Bring water to a boil in a kettle. Transfer the onions from one bowl to a colander. Place the bowl on the counter and hold the colander with the onions over it. Start pouring water into the bowl through the colander. Dip it in the boiling water for 2–3 minutes. Now you can put the onions back in the bowl.
