Cut it up put it in a bowl and use it the next day. Onions go in like everything. Slice it and put it on a sandwich, mix with some green peppers and make an omelet.
If you cook every day it's hardly a problem.

Take that 1/2 an onion & turn it into a suckling pig. If you had the other half of the onion you should turn that into red wine and maybe some figgy pudding. That's what I do anyways.

Egg white goes in cocktails or gets turned into meringue in my house.

lrn2 "fridge soup"
Any broth plus whatever you have in the fridge = soup.

eat it raw. I always take my leftover onion out of my fridge during a meal and alternate bites of food with bites of onion.

Stir fry the onions with the egg whites for breakfast.
Feed the butter solids to your dumbass chickens or put them in your Compost pile

don't feed onion to chickens, it'll thin their blood and they'll die to death depriving you of egg

Spare egg whites become coconut merengues in my home. As for other spare bits, it varies. I freeze scraps to make stock. I put other scraps into the composter (I garden). Oftentimes bits of this and that mean it’s pizza night. I waste nothing.

They do start to lose pungency if you leave them sliced in the fridge overnight.
As a matter of fact I have been going to the same sandwich shop for like 20 years, and the owner does that with his sliced raw onions for sandwiches, It takes the punchy overpowering taste out and actually makes them very nice and mild as topping.
If you don't want to do that just wrap it up and don't chop it and leave it in the fridge till tomorrow peel on.

I do this too, but I cut it into chunks and soak in water to take a bit of the edge off. then eat with bread and cheese and pickles and any leftover meat in the fridge between vodka shots. I’m not russian but a good idea is a good idea

Also, try out smaller onions if you like to cook with onions but struggle to use them up.
Try out a bag of shallots, they are really nice and a single shallot is like a perfect serving size for most things you might want to make, like an omelet, pan sauce, etc.

Only put whole anounts of onioms into things and you won't have any leftovers. What's an extra half an onion in your tomato sauce, anyway?

Speaking of leftover egg whites, what the fuck do I do with leftover egg yolks? I already turn my whites into meringue or egg drop soup if I don't feel like sweets. Yolks, though, I don't have many ideas for. Mayonnaise, maybe? But I'd like some other ideas, too.

If you’re careful with them you can salt cure them, it seems kind of memey but it might be good. otherwise make a custard

[Anonymous No.19829268]

>>19829254
>cured egg yolks
Ah, fuck, I used to make those sometimes. It's been a while, thanks for the reminder. They're pretty good on toast.
>custard
The other thing I was hoping to avoid, but honestly a good suggestion. Thanks, anon.

When I make fries at home I chop of the sides of it in order to make them more cube shaped and easier to cut into fries. the ends of potatoes i stuff in a bag and let sit in the fridge until I have enough to make pyttipana with whatever bacon/sausage/cheap meat that I can dice up. fry with thyme and rosemary, top with a fried egg and beetroots and voila

[Anonymous No.19830954]

If you have leftover chicken that's still good but you dont want to eat that meal 3 days in a row you can make a "salad" out of it.
>boil a few carrots
>boil a few eggs
>you can add other things like diced pickles or bell peppers but I feel like that's too much stuff
>dice these up into small pieces
>shred the meat up to the same size
>make some homemade mayo out of an egg yolk and oil and a dash of mustard
>season your mayo with salt, pepper, whatever else you like
>mix it all in a bowl and now you have a yummy spread you can eat on toast with some shredded cheese over it
Just make sure you have the proper amount of mayo. Too much it'll be too wet and gross, too little, it'll be too dry and tasteless. You just kinda gotta feel for it

It'll go bad faster if you dice it.

Wrap it with foil/plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge until you need it. Use it as an ingredient within a couple of days. Slice off the exposed area before you use it.

Anything veg freeze and make your own stock. Combine with chicken or beef offcuts to make related stocks.

Plan ahead with your meals. You're buying 2 eggs and only using the yolks? Plan something for the whites.
