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

It can be added to a casserole with meat, vegetables or even roasted together with meat in the oven.

Cloves enhance the flavor, giving it depth and a spicy touch.

This method is popular among chefs around the world, because cloves make even the simplest dishes aromatic and interesting.

Try adding cloves to onions in soups, stews or sauces – you’ll notice how a common dish takes on new flavors.

It’s not just a tradition, but also a way of looking at cooking from a different angle.
