Don’t toss out that sprouting onion – start a garden with it! Place it into enough water to cover the root. You can even reuse another recyclable item by using a tin can or unwanted teapot as your sprouting container. Place this a sunny window and you’ll never need to buy spring onions or chives again.
If you get a proliferation of produce from your onions use up the excess to stir into:
- salads
- pasta
- soups
- casseroles
- rice dishes
- burgers
- meatloaf
- eggs
