Miraculous Onion

Invincible when it comes to health and absolutely irreplaceable in the culinary arts, the onion is the unsung star of every kitchen.

You can’t go hungry with onions. Put them with a piece of meat in a pot, and you have soup; throw them on fat, and you get risotto, sauce, goulash, stew, and fantastic sauce; the sky is the limit. Add them sliced to boiled potatoes, and you get a divine salad. Speaking of salad, nothing pairs with an overripe tomato from your garden like a good old onion (although if you overdo it, don’t expect anyone to pair up with you after consumption!). Lamb and onions are just a dream tandem; with ćevapi, they are an absolute must-have; fried in beer dough, they make a dream snack. Slice them and add some vinegar, and you’ll have the healthiest and most delicious pickled snack in no time.

Doctor Onion

Some will reject with contempt all these delicious suggestions of ours and chew them raw like apples—and yet proudly inform you that they weren’t sick a single day of their lives. Take their word for it, because onions’ health benefits are practically uncountable. They contain literally all the vitamins, the most useful minerals, and the most effective compounds with strange names and miraculous effects. Their antioxidant properties make them a real superhero; they are incredibly useful in maintaining the health of your heart and blood vessels; they are a natural antibiotic and antipyretic; they protect you from the flu and colds; and they even prevent bowel cancer.

All for Onions, Onions for All

And they mix well with everything. In a million ways. Boil, cook, fry, sauté, throw it under the bell, put it on the grill—they feel at home in every environment and enrich every single dish with their unique sweet, pungent, harsh, and gentle umami. Needless to say, we can’t go without them here in Laganini. They are all over our menu; we use them both fresh and pickled, and we are especially proud of our fancy red onion cream, the fantastic creation of our chef, who additionally enriched the already top-quality complex lunch salads and put his signature on enticing fish and shellfish specialties. The onion is miraculous, and we create miracles every day. Come and see!
