These saucer shaped onions are very sweet when cooked with a mellow bite when eaten raw. Cippolini Onions are excellent roasted under a chicken and make a delicious addition to grilled skewers!
The roughness around the edges goes only skin deep on these Cippos: if you peel back the discolored or fraying skin or the one or two dinged up outer layers, you'll find these onions are as beautiful as any other where it counts: the inside.
