My grandmother always puts a nail in the onion: I was surprised when I found out why.

My grandmother always puts cloves in onions. When I found out why, I was shocked, because I had never seen anything like it before. Now I do it too and I love this trick.
Cloves are not the most popular spice in cooking, but they have amazing properties if used in the right way.

But in reality, its possibilities are much broader.

In winter, when fresh herbs are not so readily available, a simple trick is used: the clove in the onion. This means that cloves are inserted into peeled onions.

Normally 5-6 cloves are used to release their aroma.

This onion is not only put in the broth, but is also used for frying or cooking other dishes.
