To highlight the onion's diversity, below are four recipes, each with a different type of onion, and a different cooking technique, (one not cooked at all).

French onion, garlic and cumin bread, a bold savory yeast loaf packed with crispy bacon, sauteed onion and garlic, Swiss cheese, pecans and warm cumin. An artisan round that freezes well and slices like a dream.

Spiced hamburgers with chili powder, cumin, and cracked black pepper seared in cast iron, served with a shallot red wine pan sauce. Restaurant-style burgers at home.

Fresh tuna and red potato salad dressed with low-fat yogurt, red wine vinegar, and cumin instead of mayo. Grilled yellowfin tuna, celery, and parsley make this a lighter, protein-packed main dish salad.

Mussel and saffron soup built on the briny steaming liquor with leeks, fenugreek, and a finish of cream. A French bistro classic with deep golden color and shellfish-rich broth.

Bachelor's Stew is a dump-and-go slow cooker beef stew with bread crumb-coated chuck, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and tomato soup. Ten minutes of prep, then the Crock-Pot does all the work.

Italian sausage risotto with Arborio rice, beef broth, white wine, and Parmesan. Slow-stirred until creamy with browned sausage folded through every bite.

Turkey noodle soup made from scratch with homemade bone broth, zucchini, carrots, and herbs. A from-the-carcass soup that turns leftover turkey bones into a rich, clear broth.

Marinating the chicken in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried thyme and tarragon add great depth to a rice sauce that's smoothed by just a hint of red currant jelly and enhanced with apricots and tawny port. Be sure to use tawny port. With its beautiful amber color and slightly dry flavor, it compliments the apricots. Save your ruby port, which is sweeter and has a deep red wine color, for after dinner.

Hearty wild rice soup with chicken, mushrooms, slivered almonds, and three kinds of onion in a dill-seasoned egg yolk-enriched broth. A Minnesota-style comfort bowl.

Sausage and bacon quiche with sharp cheddar, red bell peppers, and a cream-and-egg custard in a prebaked crust. A loaded brunch centerpiece with serious savory depth.

To bring out the natural sweetness of ham and to keep it juicy during grilling, we glazed ham steaks with orange juice and tequila.

Juicy steamed prawns with savory black bean sauce in traditional Chinese style. Quick seafood dinner bursting with umami garlic-ginger flavors in under 20 minutes.
