Uses of Cloves in an Onion
Culinary Marvel
Flavor Enhancer: In cooking, sticking cloves into an onion is a simple way to add depth and aroma to soups, stews, and broths. As the onion cooks, it releases its natural sweetness, while the cloves impart a warm, spicy fragrance. This combination is especially popular in French and European cuisine, where it is used in dishes like bouillon, béchamel sauce, and pot-au-feu (a classic French stew).
Convenience in Cooking: By inserting cloves into the onion, you ensure the flavor is evenly distributed without worrying about biting into whole cloves later. The onion serves as a convenient “holder” for the cloves.
Natural Air Freshener
• • A clove-studded onion can be used as a natural deodorizer. Placing one in your kitchen or living room helps neutralize bad odors. This was a common practice in older households before the advent of synthetic air fresheners.
