Sauteeing purple onion is a food series inspired by the current novels and novellas I am writing. So inspired, that I created a video thinking of the few characters who woul eat sauteed onions. How to saute purple onions to a delicious crisp is utilized by a few characters in the Jupiter universe. Sujay is a character from Peach Pie Brings Snow. She loves onions and coconut oil. Sujay calls it coconut butter because most of the coconut oil gets solidified at room temperature about eight months of the year where she lives. She loves sautéing onions with coconut butter. She has some vegan friends who when they do come over to her house, the plate full of sautéed onion disappears.

What to put sautéed onions on?

Sujay would say, “ The sautéed onion dances well with any stir-fried vegetable in my mouth.”
Lionel from Cranberry Moon Empire likes to put sautéed onions on his burgers. He prefers to make it with avocado oil. Occasionally, Nina likes to add sauteed onions on her quick Chinese chicken dish. She prefers peanut , olive, or coconut oil.
It is an excellent topping on fajitas and sandwiches. If you like, you can just take some corn or flour tortilla and heap of sauteed onions and eat it by itself as a quick snack. When it comes to it, you can add it in salads, appetizers, main dishes, soups, or any food that you want that crunchy, smooth texture.

Three types of onions

The three types of onion that they mostly use to sauté are yellow onion, white onions, and Walla Walla onions.

Walla Walla onions are known as sweet onions. No, they don’t taste like chocolates. You don’t want your onions to taste like chocolates, or do you? I have never tried onions with chocolates. I tell you what though, these onions (the purple/red onions) sauteed do melt in my mouth.

Then why would someone call onions, sweet onions? I read that that they are called sweet onions because they make you cry less while you dice them because of their lower sulfur content.

Here is a video on how to sauté purple onions to a delicious crisp? I made it as if Sujay is cooking these beautiful purple/red onions.
