Making an onion braid is a great way to store your onions and display them beautifully! Here's how you do it:
- Gather your onions: You'll need onions with long, dry, and pliable tops.
- Start the braid: Take three onions and begin a standard braid, like you would with hair.
- Add onions as you go: As you braid, add a new onion to the middle strand and braid it in. Then add two onions to the side braid rinse and repeat. The video mentioned says to keep repeating this and add a big onion to the middle braid. Keep incorporating the tops of the new onions into the braid.
- Continue braiding: Repeat the process of adding onions and braiding until you reach the desired length or run out of onions.
- Secure the end: Once you've added all the onions, finish the braid and tie off the tops with twine or raffia. You can also create a loop for hanging.
This method effectively incorporates the onion tops into a decorative and functional braid, allowing for air circulation and preserving the onions.
