Tips and curiosities of the tomolo

The red onion is a variety of onion that is particularly appreciated for its sweet and delicate flavour as well as its vivid red-purple colour. Probably originating in central Asia, the red onion is cultivated in many parts of the world, but some local varieties have become particularly renowned. For example, the red onion from Tropea, Calabria, is famous for its unique sweetness and versatile use in cooking.

One of the most fascinating facts about the red onion is its high content of anthocyanins, the pigments responsible for its characteristic colour.

Not only does the red onion add colour and flavour to dishes, it also offers numerous health benefits due to its nutrients and antioxidants. Its sweetness and versatility make it a valuable ingredient in cooking, while its health properties make it an important ally for well-being.

Fileja with onion: the best combinations

Onion fileja are extremely versatile in the kitchen. They can be seasoned simply with extra virgin olive oil, garlic and chilli pepper to bring out the flavour of the onion in the mixture, or combined with more complex sauces such as meat sauces, vegetable sauces or cheese-based sauces. A classic Calabrian pairing could include 'nduja, the typical spicy spreadable salami, which goes perfectly with the sweet taste of the onion.

Due to its sweet and less pungent flavour than white or yellow onions, it is often used raw in salads, sandwiches and fish dishes. It is ideal to be marinated with vinegar for a fresh and crispy side dish, or caramelised to enhance its sweet flavour in more complex dishes.

This flavoured pasta is also ideal for cold dishes, such as pasta salads, where its unique flavour can shine through without being overpowered by other ingredients. It can also be used in baked preparations, such as timbale and pasta gratin, where the onion in the dough adds a depth of flavour that enriches the entire dish.
