To help you keep the cost of your kai down, each week we feature an item that represents great value and easy eating. This week is not the glamour-puss of produce - not by a long shot - but it knuckles down and does its job. This is the base - nay - the very heart of the dish and if cooked well - sometimes you can't even really see it. The eat of the week is ONION.
The best buying we found is a kilo of loose brown onions for 99 cents. Tristan Balle is a 3rd generation onion grower and tells us about this pantry staple.
