Ingredients & Tools Needed

Step 1: Select a Clean, Firm Onion
Choose a fresh, unblemished onion with a dry outer skin, ensuring the bulb is completely firm and free of soft spots.

Take individual dried clove buds and press their sharp stems directly into the onion skin in a decorative pattern, spacing them evenly across the bulb.
Step 3: Place the Spiked Onion on a Dish
Set your completed aromatic creation onto a small plate or shallow bowl to catch any natural moisture as the onion rests.
