Onion Flower

Before you begin you will need: sharp paring knife, ice water and a skewer.

Peel the onion. Hold it so that the onion point is on top. Make the first cut by taking the knife directly down the middle, using a rocking motion. Do not cut completely through the onion. Turn the onion and repeat the step above.

Continue this process until there is no more onion to cut. Place the onion in ice water and the onion will bloom. You may add food color to the ice water to give your flower color. You may skewer the onion flower at the stem end, or just set on tray to garnish food.
